• What do long noncoding RNAs and Pseudogenes do?

  By Klaus D. Linse on April 18, 2013 • ( 0 )

  

  
  

  Pseudogene long noncoding RNA networks appear to regulate transcription and translation in human cells. What are pseudogenes? Pseudogenes are now thought to be nonfunctional relatives of genes and can be defined as fragments of nucleotide sequences that resemble a domain… Read More ›
