It is commonly understood that RNA-binding proteins crucially determine the fate of their target RNAs. Vice versa, RNAs are becoming increasingly recognized for functions in protein regulation and dynamics RNA-protein complexes. Long non-coding emerging as potent regulators exert unknown properties moonlighting functions. A vast array RNA- protein-centric techniques have been developed identifi...

Now, it is clear that protein is just one of the most functional products produced by the eukaryotic genome. Indeed, a major part of the human genome is transcribed to non-coding sequences than to the coding sequence of the protein. In this study, we selected three long non-coding RNAs namely AK082072, AK043754 and AK082467 which show brain expression and local region conservation among vertebr...

Background: RNA plays key role in many aspects of biological processes and its tertiary structure is critical for its biological function. RNA secondary structure represents various significant portions of RNA tertiary structure. Since the biological function of RNA is concluded indirectly from its primary structure, it would be important to analyze the relations between the RNA sequences and t...

Abstract Medulloblastoma is a central nervous system tumor that develops through various genetic, epigenetic, and non-coding (nc) RNA-related mechanisms, but the roles played by ncRNAs, particularly circular RNAs (circRNAs), remain poorly defined. CircRNAs are increasingly recognized as stable noncoding RNA therapeutic targets in many cancers, little known about their function, subtype specific...

Background: Dysregulation of LncRNA antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus (ANRIL) expression is implicated in pathogenesis and disease progression of a variety of cancer types. However, the expression level of ANRIL in pediatric patients with B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) has not been elucidated, yet. The present study is an attempt to evaluate the expression leve...

Recent genome-wide transcriptome studies suggest the presence of numerous bidirectional overlapping coding gene pairs in mammalian genomes. Various antisense RNAs are reported as non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of sense RNA. However, it is still unclear whether the expression of bidirectional overlapping coding genes are regulated by the opposite strand gene transcript acting as a ...

Biomarkers are quantifiable indicators of disease. These surrogates should be specific, sensitive, predictive, robust and easily accessible. A major class of RNA described as non-coding RNA fulfils many of these criteria, and recent studies have demonstrated that the two major subclasses of non-coding RNA, long non-coding RNA and, in particular, microRNA are promising potential biomarkers. The ...

it has been well documented that preeclampsia (pe) has a common etiological background, but little is known about its linkage at the molecular level.non- coding rnas are critical posttranscriptional regulators ofgene expression.  this study was performed to determine whether peis associated with alterations in placental non-codingrnas expression. microrna(mir)-155-5p and long non-coding rna (ln...

Thermodynamic RNA secondary structure prediction is an important recipe for the latest generation of functional non-coding RNA finding tools. However, the predicted energy is not strong enough by itself to distinguish a single functional non-coding RNA from other RNA. Here, we analyze how well an RNA molecule folds into a particular structural class with a restricted folding algorithm called Th...
