RNA is one of the most primitive molecules associated with life that has awakened most interest over the last decade; a sister molecule to cellular DNA from which it originates via a process called transcription. Seven years ago a team from the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) discovered that the DNA regions that contained telomeres, despite their compact and hard-to-access structure, generated RNAs that … Continue reading CNIO experts discover the genomic origin of telomere protectors.
