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 ...
A new study finds that at least one Archaea has surprisingly flexibility when interpreting genetic code, which goes against a ...
Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...
Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA ...
For decades, biology has relied on one central assumption: the genetic code is precise. DNA is transcribed into RNA, RNA is ...
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 at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and collaborators at the University of Bristol, KU Leuven, and the NIHR BioResource, have identified a neurodevelopmental disorder, caused ...
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 ...
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 ...
