New CRISPR-Cas13 screening studies have identified hundreds of long non-coding RNAs that appear essential for cell survival. The findings suggest these molecules, once dismissed as 'junk DNA' output, play critical roles in basic cellular function. Researchers say the results could open new avenues for studying gene regulation and disease, though how quickly the discussion spreads beyond specialist circles is not yet clear.
