Ataxic polyneuropathy is a neurological syndrome that was described from an endemic area in south-western Nigeria in the 1950s and 1960s. The major clinical features are sensory polyneuropathy, sensory gait ataxia, optic ...
Regulation of gene expression by non-protein-coding RNAs
(2009-01-29)
The human genome sequencing projects revealed that the human genome contains over 3 billion DNA base pairs, but only 20,000 25,000 protein-coding genes. In fact, only about 1.2% of the genome codes for proteins. Surprisingly, ...
Characterization of non-coding RNAs in cancer
(2014-08-25)
While originally though to only code for proteins, it now stands clear that RNA is a multifunctional molecule involved in a great variety of molecular processes. Recent advances in genome-wide platforms have revealed ...
