Gene expression analysis and RNA sequencing have transformed our understanding of molecular biology, offering a comprehensive view of transcriptomic landscapes in diverse biological systems. By ...
What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too ...
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 ...

Scientists identify a non-coding gene that directly controls how big cells grow
The study shows that a long non-coding RNA called CISTR-ACT acts as a master regulator of cell size, influencing how large or small cells grow across multiple tissues.
Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...
A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...
But only a tiny percentage of our DNA – around 2% – contains our 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98% – long known as the non-coding genome, or so-called ‘junk’ DNA – includes many of the switches that ...
It's a common storytelling trope: the stubborn foe who is eventually revealed to be a much-needed friend. Biology has its own ...
Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...
