Small peptides of 100 amino acids or fewer are encoded by small open reading frames (smORFs) and mediate key physiological functions in animals and humans. smORFs constitute 99% of transcribed, but ...

Although there are many functions in the base package of R, sometimes there may not be a function that does exactly what you want. In this case, R allows users to create their own functions and call ...

Scientific research over the past decade has concentrated almost exclusively on the 2 percent of the genome's protein coding regions, virtually ignoring the other 98 percent. Investigators now reveal ...

Programming is a constant game of mental Jenga: one line of code stacked upon another, building a tower of code you hope is robust enough not to come crashing down. But it always does, as code never ...

Researchers have uncovered a vast new class of previously unrecognized mammalian genes that do not encode proteins, but instead function as long RNA molecules, and seem to play critical roles in both ...
