2006), there is no clear correspondence between genome size and number of protein-coding genes—another indication that the number of genes in a eukaryotic genome reveals little about organismal ...

Deep sequencing has revealed thousands of eukaryotic protein-coding genes that defy the central dogma, producing circular noncoding RNAs rather than linear messenger RNAs. For some genes, the ...

Protein synthesis refers to the process ... which are non-coding DNA sequences that interrupt the coding regions (exons) of eukaryotic genes. Since prokaryotic genes are already compact and ...

But that hasn’t stopped them from trying. Eme tells The Scientist that the “next big frontier” will be functional studies in modern eukaryotes to yield clues about how individual genes and proteins ...
