Long Non-Coding RNAs: Key Regulators of Gene Expression in Development and Disease
Abstract: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are RNA molecules that do not make proteins but are essential for controlling how genes are turned on or off in the body. These molecules help with various biological functions, such as guiding cell growth, shaping development, and influencing the progression of diseases. Recent advancements in genomics and transcriptomics have revealed the vast and complex roles of lncRNAs, with an increasing recognition of their involvement in …

Epigenetic Modifications in Health, Disease, and Precision Therapeutics (From Genome to Epigenome)
Abstract: Introduction: Epigenetic alterations play a crucial role in regulating gene expression in both normal physiological and disease states. These reversible modifications—such as DNA methylation, histone acetylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and chromatin remodelling—are increasingly implicated in complex diseases including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Despite advances in standard therapeutic approaches, patient responses remain variable, largely due to genetic heterogeneity and epigenetic dysregulation. This highlights the need for incorporating epigenetic understanding into personalized medicine. …

STRUCTURAL–EPIGENOMIC ATLAS: CNV/SV- DRIVEN PROGNOSTIC REFINEMENT ACROSS CANCERS
Abstract: Structural genomic alterations, including copy number variations (CNVs) and structural variants (SVs), play a central role in cancer initiation and progression. These alterations extend beyond gene dosage effects and interact dynamically with epigenomic mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and three-dimensional chromatin organization. Recent pan-cancer studies have demonstrated that CNV burden and SV signatures reflect key oncogenic processes including chromothripsis, homologous recombination deficiency, enhancer hijacking, and extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) …
