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

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

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.

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

The short lifetime of orphan genes is a major factor explaining the stability of gene number in Drosophila.

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

The first genomic view of beetle luciferase evolution indicates evolutionary independence of luciferase between fireflies and click-beetles, and provide valuable datasets which will accelerate the discovery of new biotechnological tools.
