What are Long or large non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs)?
Long or large non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-protein coding sequence transcripts ! . Long non-coding RNAs are non-protein coding sequence transcripts that contain more than 200 nucleotides. The size of these RNA molecules distinguishes them from small regulatory RNAs such… Read More ›
DNA Methylation
What is DNA Methylation? . DNA methylation is a biochemical reaction that adds a methyl group to DNA nucleotides. The methylation of DNA has been found to alter the expression of genes in cells during development. BSI can help you… Read More ›
