“There is strong debate in the scientific community on whether the thousands of long non-coding RNAs generated from our genomes are functional or simply byproducts of a noisy transcriptional machinery ...

A new study identifies PTCHD1-AS as a key non-coding gene that shapes social and repetitive behaviors in autism without affecting cognition.

A long-overlooked stretch of the human genome appears to play a distinct role in shaping the social and stereotypic ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) represent a diverse class of transcripts that, despite lacking protein‐coding capacity, play critical roles in the regulation of gene expression. Their functions span ...

A long‑overlooked stretch of the human genome appears to play a distinct role in shaping the social and stereotypic ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a type of RNA molecule that do not carry instructions to make proteins. Instead, they influence how other genes are expressed. There are tens of thousands of lncRNAs ...

Schematic representation summarising MASLD-associated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their relevant targets in hepatocytes: human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex group 18 (HCG18), nuclear enriched ...

The human genome contains about 20,000 protein-coding genes, but that only accounts for roughly two percent of the genome. For many years, it was easier for scientists to simply ignore all of that ...

Long Noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) are proven to be critical in cancer biology playing a significant role in tumor formation and ...

What is the dark genome: The 98% of DNA that doesn't code for proteins is now known to play key roles in regulating genes, influencing traits, and impacting disease. Why it matters: Discoveries in the ...
