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 ...
A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...
For decades, biology has relied on one central assumption: the genetic code is precise. DNA is transcribed into RNA, RNA is ...
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 ...
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and others have identified a neurodevelopmental disorder, caused by mutations in a single gene, that affects tens of thousands of people ...
