Noncoding Genes

  • Fluorescence image clearly showing individual cells that are purple/blue in color. Many of the cells have green punctae, but in varying quantities, indicating that the situation in each cell is independent of the other cells. A small number of cells has magenta puncta.

    Cracking the code: How studying single cells reveals the secrets of noncoding genes

    In a recent study, Vanderbilt researchers address a significant gap in our understanding of how noncoding regions of the genome regulate important biological processes, such as X-chromosome inactivation. They use an innovative, single-cell approach to uncover new mechanistic insights into how specific long noncoding RNAs control critical gene regulation events. Read More
