Open AccessThe majority of total nuclear-encoded non-ribosomal RNA in a human cell is 'dark matter' un-annotated RNA
Discovery that the transcriptional output of the human genome is far more complex than predicted by the current set of protein-coding annotations and that most RNAs produced do not appear to encode proteins ha...

The Lkb1 metabolic sensor maintains haematopoietic stem cell survival
Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) can convert between growth states that have marked differences in bioenergetic needs. Although often quiescent in adults, these cells become proliferative upon physiological de...
