The language of RNA decoded: Study reveals new function for pseudogenes and noncoding RNAs
The central dogma of molecular biology, as proposed in 1970 by Francis Crick and James Watson, holds that genetic information is transferred from DNA to functional proteins by way of messenger RNA (mRNA). This suggests that ...
