Originally classified as ‘junk DNA’, genomic regions which are transcribed into RNAs that do not serve as template for protein production have attracted increasing attention in the last two decades.

A father’s plastic exposure could significantly induce metabolic disorders like diabetes in offspring. Limiting the plastic ...

A study led by biomedical scientists at the University of California, Riverside, has shown for the first time that a father’s ...

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

A new study reveals how a previously unexplored gene in the non-coding genome helps regulate cell size, a discovery that could open new avenues for treating conditions like cancer and anemia.

SickKids researchers discovered that a long non-coding RNA, CISTR-ACT, directly regulates cell size. Using gene-editing tools, they showed that increasing CISTR-ACT shrinks cells, while removing it ...

Rapid advances in sequencing technologies have transformed our ability to diagnose human genetic disorders, yet many patients still lack a molecular ...

A father’s exposure to microplastics can alter sperm RNA in ways that increase metabolic disease risk in his daughters.

A study led by biomedical scientists at the University of California, Riverside, has shown for the first time that a father's ...

The study shows that a long non-coding RNA called CISTR-ACT acts as a master regulator of cell size, influencing how large or small cells grow across multiple tissues.
