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

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 ...
What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too ...
A tiny percentage of our DNA—around 2%—contains 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98%—long known as the non-coding genome, or ...
Only around two percent of the human genome codes for proteins, and while those proteins carry out many important functions of the cell, the rest of the genome cannot be ignored. However, for decades ...
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 research adds to growing evidence that this vast genetic landscape plays a ...
Guillaume Andrey, UNIGE I've been interested in the genetic mechanisms of development since the beginning of my career.
