A long non-coding RNA regulates the expression of genes that encode proteins involved in the inflammatory response.

Thousands of "noncoding" RNAs, 5' "untranslated" regions, and pseudogenes in humans are actually translated, and some of these are likely to express functional proteins.

The partial success of a study to reproduce experiments that linked pseudogenes and cancer proves that understanding RNA networks is more complicated than expected.

Editors' Summary: This Replication Study has reproduced some parts of the original paper but it also contains results that are not consistent with other parts of the original paper.

Elephants escaped enhanced cancer susceptibility by evolving more master tumor suppressor genes.

Mutualistic viruses called virophages are common genome inhabitants of a marine protist, where they may protect host populations from giant viruses.

Over 7,000 novel translated sequences have been identified from human cells, including several hundred in annotated noncoding RNA, pseudogenes and de novo assembled transcripts.

Duplication of tumor suppressor genes contributed to the evolution of large, long-lived elephants.

Pseudogenization of rcsD alters canonical Rcs phosphorelay signalling and marks a significant adaptive evolutionary step in the emergence of ubiquitous extant branches of Yersinia pestis that can maintain stable plague outbreaks.
