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

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

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

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

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.

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases.

New 3D genome maps reveal how DNA folding controls gene activity, offering fresh clues into disease and cell function.

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...

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

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 ...
