Scientists identify the first non-coding gene that directly controls cell size, reshaping how biology explains growth and ...

Researchers have identified elusive DNA switches in brain support cells that influence genes tied to Alzheimer’s disease. When people think about DNA, they often picture genes that determine our ...

A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...

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

When most of us think of DNA, we have a vague idea it's made up of genes that give us our physical features, our behavioral ...

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 ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have decoded the nuclear genome of Amorphochlora amoebiformis, a unicellular marine alga ...

SickKids researchers discovered that a long non-coding RNA, CISTR-ACT, directly regulates cell size. Using gene-editing tools ...
