It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

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

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

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

Scientists mapped hidden DNA switches in brain support cells to understand how gene control may influence Alzheimer’s disease ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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