Growing insights about a significant part of the genome, the dark matter of DNA, have fundamentally changed the way scientists approach the study of diseases. The human genome contains about 20,000 protein-coding genes, less than 2 percent of the total, however, 70 percent of the genome is made into non-coding RNA. Nevertheless, a systematic characterization of these segments, called long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and their … Continue reading Study provides first ever comprehensive profile of lncRNAs in human cancers.
