Researchers have made a significant advance in understanding how genes are controlled in living organisms. The new study focuses on critical snippets of RNA in the tiny, transparent roundworm ...

One of the ways cells in different kinds of tissue communicate is by exchanging RNA molecules. In experiments with roundworms of the species Caenorhabditis elegans, researchers at the State University ...

The tiny roundworm C.elegans is the focus of a new study examining 3'UTRs. These short segments of RNA play a critical role in the regulation of genes. The resulting map, the product of 20 years of ...
