What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too ...
The study shows that a long non-coding RNA called CISTR-ACT acts as a master regulator of cell size, influencing how large or ...
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3: Good Health & Wellbeing. The human genome is a vast landscape, with less than 2% of its sequence encoding proteins. For many years, ...
Non-coding DNA variants contribute to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) chemotherapy resistance. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have identified specific DNA variants in the ...
Large-scale human genetics studies have shown that many risk variants for common and complex diseases sit in the non-coding ...
The human genome contains about 20,000 protein-coding genes, but that only accounts for roughly two percent of the genome. For many years, it was easier for scientists to simply ignore all of that ...
A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...
Image Caption: Technologies evolved related to the Human Genome Project. Genes & Diseases publishes rigorously peer-reviewed and high quality original articles and authoritative reviews that focus on ...
Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...
