the eukaryotic complexity involves the expression and regulation of genes via rna-dna, rna-rna, dna-protein and rna-protein interactions. recently, the role of rna molecules in the regulation of genes in higher organisms has become more evident, especially with the discovery that about 97% of the transcriptional output in higher organisms are represented as noncoding rnas: rrna, snornas, trna, ...

conclusions this information provides an explanation for the previously valuable literature on the functions of lncrnas and suggest for the novel therapeutic targeting. results the lncrnas hottip, h19, hotair, malat1, antisense igf2r (air), hoxa13, gtl2 (also called meg3) and uc002mb have been reported in association with hcc. besides, this study predicted that eif4aiii, ptb and fus were the mo...

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 ...

Introduction Approximately three-quarters of the mammalian genome is transcribed into RNA (1–3); however, only a fraction of this transcription produces mRNA, whose mature nucleotide sequence serves as a template for protein synthesis (3). The function of this nonprotein-coding RNA (or noncoding RNA) is mostly obscure, despite a larger number of noncoding genes than protein-coding genes. Given ...

BACKGROUND Long noncoding RNAs have been shown to play crucial roles in cancer biology, while the long noncoding RNA landscapes of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma have not been completely characterized. We aimed to determine whether long noncoding RNA could serve as early diagnostic biomarkers for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. METHOD We conducted a genome-wide microarray analysis on panc...

Genes encoding proteins involved in the early steps of protein glycosylation are dysregulated yeast RNA exosome mutants through mechanisms that involve increased accumulation noncoding RNAs, leading to cell wall instability.

The paradigm of gene regulation was forever changed by the discovery that short RNA duplexes could directly regulate gene expression. Most regulatory roles attributed to noncoding RNA were often repressive. Recent observations are beginning to reveal that duplex RNA molecules can stimulate gene transcription. These RNA activators employ a wide array of mechanisms to up-regulate transcription of...

Single-molecule RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization is a technique that holds great potential for the study of long noncoding RNA. It enables quantification and spatial resolution of single RNA molecules within cells via hybridization of multiple, labeled nucleic acid probes to a target RNA. It has recently become apparent that single-molecule RNA FISH probes targeting noncoding RNA are more...
