Most of the human genome — 98 percent — is made up of DNA but doesn’t actually encode genes, the recipes cells use to build proteins. The vast majority of genetic mutations associated with cancer ...
What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too ...
Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...
These genes are part of the non-coding genome, which makes up about 98% of our DNA and was long dismissed as “junk.” This new ...
The structure of DNA is important in synthesising specific proteins needed in biological processes. Not all parts of the DNA code for proteins. There are coding and non-coding part of DNA, which can ...
Scientists have found that non-coding ‘junk’ DNA, far from being harmless and inert, could potentially contribute to the development of cancer. Their study has shown how non-coding DNA can get in the ...
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 ...

Scientists identify a non-coding gene that directly controls how big cells grow
The study shows that a long non-coding RNA called CISTR-ACT acts as a master regulator of cell size, influencing how large or ...
