Abstract:In the recent years, a huge number of human transcripts have been found in the human genome that do not encode for proteins, which have been named non-coding RNAs (npcRNAs) containing secondary structures or short regions highly conserved within mammalian sequences.Long RNAs (antisense RNA, structured RNA, and long interspersed ncRNAs) and small RNAs (miRNAs, siRNAs, snoRNAs) have shown to exert many roles: functioning as regulators of other mRNAs, at transcriptional and post-transcriptional level, controlling… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
