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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 behavioural ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
