'Junk' RNA segments found to play role in protein production and cell stress response

'Junk' RNA segments play role in protein production, cell stress response

Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing production of certain messenger RNAs and appear to help cells respond to oxidative stress.

‘Junk’ RNA segments play role in protein production, cell stress response

Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing production of certain messenger RNAs and appear to help cells respond to oxidative stress. The segments in question are introns, short sequences of a subset of transfer RNAs, the RNA molecules that help guide assembly of ami...
