noncoding RNAs and microRNAs.
Noncoding DNA
includes stretches called enhancers, short sequences that help control a target gene.
That DNA
includes slightly less than 21,000 protein - coding genes (some researchers once estimated we had more than 100,000 such genes); «genes» for 8800 small RNA molecules and 9600 long
noncoding RNA molecules, each of which is at least 200 bases long; and 11,224 stretches of DNA that are classified as pseudogenes, «dead» genes now known to really be active in some cell types or individuals.

Throughout the 2000s, Wistar scientists made seminal discoveries in the field of epigenetics and RNA transcription, contributing new knowledge on the role of histone modifications in gene regulation and DNA repair and how different RNA species,
including microRNAs (miRNA) and long
noncoding RNAs (lncRNA), are generated and how they regulate gene transcription.
