Noncoding RNA genes.
نویسنده
چکیده
Some genes produce RNAs that are functional instead of encoding proteins. Noncoding RNA genes are surprisingly numerous. Recently, active research areas include small nucleolar RNAs, antisense riboregulator RNAs, and RNAs involved in X-dosage compensation. Genome sequences and new algorithms have begun to make systematic computational screens for noncoding RNA genes possible.

Study of Long Noncoding RNA FER1L4 and RB1, as Its Competing Endogenous RNA Network Target Gene, in Breast Cancer
Introduction: Breast cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related death among females, which requires an exploration for markers to propose a more specific categorization of this cancer. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), the main subset of noncoding transcripts, are involved in tumorigenic processes. In this study, we investigated the expression of the fer-1–like family member 4 (FER...
متن کاملComputational Genomics of Noncoding RNA Genes
The number of known noncoding RNA genes is expanding rapidly. Computational analysis of genome sequences, which has been revolutionary for protein gene analysis, should also be able to address questions of the number and diversity of noncoding RNA genes. However, noncoding RNAs present computational genomics with a new set of challenges.

Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) are very complex and their all functions have yet to be fully clarified. Noncoding genes (noncoding RNA, sequences, and pseudogenes) comprise 67% of all genes and they are represented by housekeeping noncoding RNAs (transfer RNA (tRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), small nuclear RNA (snRNA), and small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA)) that are engaged in basic cellular processes and by ...
متن کاملThe role of Mediator in small and long noncoding RNA production in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Mediator is a conserved multi-subunit complex known to promote the transcription of protein-coding genes by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) in eukaryotes. It has been increasingly realized that Pol II transcribes a large number of intergenic loci to generate noncoding RNAs, but the role of Mediator in Pol II-mediated noncoding RNA production has been largely unexplored. The role of Mediator in nonco...
متن کاملComputational Identification of Noncoding RNA Genes through Phylogenetic Shadowing
Although fairly accurate databases exist for protein-coding genes, little is known about another important class of genes known as noncoding RNA genes. These genes, which have been implicated in a wide variety of critical biochemical pathways including brain development [7] and viral defense [5], are not translated into polypeptides. Instead, their transcribed RNAs fold into stable, base-paired...
