New Insight into How Genes Function

GENNewsHighlights    Feb 17, 2013

Long segments of noncoding RNA are key to

• physically manipulating DNA in order to activate certain genes.
• These noncoding RNA-activators (ncRNA-a) have a crucial role in
  • turning genes on and off during early embryonic development.
