RNA - Genetics
Research News and Information

Definition of 'RNA'

A polynucleotide consisting essentially of chains with a repeating backbone of phosphate and ribose units to which nitrogenous bases are attached. RNA is unique among biological macromolecules in that it can encode genetic information, serve as an abundant structural component of cells, and also possesses catalytic activity. (Rieger et al., Glossary of Genetics: Classical and Molecular, 5th ed)

Common names: RNA; Gene Products, RNA; RNA Gene Products; RNA, Non-Polyadenylated; RNA, Non Polyadenylated; Non-Polyadenylated RNA; Non Polyadenylated RNA; Ribonucleic Acid; Acid, Ribonucleic

Equal contribution of increased intracranial pressure and subarachnoid blood to cerebral blood flow reduction and receptor upregulation after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Laboratory investigation.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Cerebral ischemia remains the key cause of disability and death in the late phase after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and its pathogenesis is still poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to examine whether the change in ... Read more...


From consensus structure prediction to RNA gene finding.

30 Oct 2009 Reliable structure prediction is a prerequisite for most types of bioinformatical analysis of RNA. Since the accuracy of structure prediction from single sequences is limited, one often resorts to computing the consensus structure for a set of ... Read more...


Computation for ChIP-seq and RNA-seq studies.

30 Oct 2009 Genome-wide measurements of protein-DNA interactions and transcriptomes are increasingly done by deep DNA sequencing methods (ChIP-seq and RNA-seq). The power and richness of these counting-based measurements comes at the cost of routinely handling ... Read more...
