What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too ...

Originally classified as ‘junk DNA’, genomic regions which are transcribed into RNAs that do not serve as template for protein production have attracted increasing attention in the last two decades.

Large-scale human genetics studies have shown that many risk variants for common and complex diseases sit in the non-coding ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a type of RNA molecule that do not carry instructions to make proteins. Instead, they influence how other genes are expressed. There are tens of thousands of lncRNAs ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are sections of RNA over 200 nucleotides in length that are not translated into proteins, remaining in the nucleus following transcription in relatively low concentration ...

The study shows that a long non-coding RNA called CISTR-ACT acts as a master regulator of cell size, influencing how large or ...

“There is strong debate in the scientific community on whether the thousands of long non-coding RNAs generated from our genomes are functional or simply byproducts of a noisy transcriptional machinery ...

A study led by biomedical scientists at the University of California, Riverside, has shown for the first time that a father’s ...

Researchers at the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center have uncovered biological differences ...
