  • Recent studies show that many genetic changes linked to cancer occur in non-coding regions of DNA, challenging the traditional focus on protein-coding genes.
  • Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are over 200 nucleotides long, are crucial for regulating cellular processes and maintaining cell function, making them potential targets for new cancer therapies.
