Non-coding Rna
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are molecules of RNA (ribonucleic acid) that do not encode proteins. They are involved in a wide range of cellular processes, such as gene regulation, chromatin organization, post-transcriptional regulation of mRNA stability, and translation of mRNAs into proteins. ncRNAs thus have a fundamental role in the regulation of gene expression, and are essential for the formation, function and maintenance of the eukaryotic cell. They are also involved in a variety of human diseases and have potential implications in cancer therapy. Thus, understanding the role and mechanism of ncRNAs can provide important insights into the regulation of gene expression as well as many human diseases.
