Novel Gene and Variant Discovery in Human Genetic Disorders: From Coding and Non-Coding RNA variants
Rapid advances in sequencing technologies have transformed our ability to diagnose human genetic disorders, yet many patients still lack a molecular ...
It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...
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 ...

Long non-coding RNA found to directly control cell size
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 linked to many diseases.

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 small cells grow across multiple tissues.
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.
