This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3: Good Health & Wellbeing. The human genome is a vast landscape, with less than 2% of its sequence encoding proteins. For many years, ...

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 ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called ‘junk DNA’ contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. When people picture DNA, they often imagine a set of genes ...

Researchers have developed a method to swiftly screen the non-coding DNA of the human genome for links to diseases that are driven by changes in gene regulation. The technique could revolutionize ...

Non-coding RNAs and oxidative stress work together in various stages of cancer progression, including cancer cell growth and reproduction, cancer cell invasion, tumor microenvironment shaping, ...

Buried in DNA once written off as “background noise”, a tiny non-coding gene has been tied to a surprisingly common childhood ...

Researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) have built a platform that steers cell behavior using ...
