Non-Coding RNA, Volume 3, Issue 2

We are delighted to share with you our fifth Journal Club and highlight some of the most interesting papers published recently.[...]

In the era of network medicine, pathway analysis methods play a central role in the prediction of phenotype from high throughput experiments. In this paper, we present a network-based systems biology approach capable of extracting disease-perturbed s...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are crucial regulatory RNAs, originated from hairpin precursors. For the past decade, researchers have been focusing extensively on miRNA profiles in various plants. However, there have been few studies on the global profiling of p...

Recently, a novel type of non-coding RNA (ncRNA), known as ncRNA fragments or ncRFs, has been characterised in various organisms, including plants. The biogenesis mechanism, function and abundance of ncRFs stemming from various ncRNAs are poorly unde...

We sought to determine whether commercial quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) methods are capable of distinguishing isomiRs: variants of mature microRNAs (miRNAs) with sequence endpoint differences. We used two commercially available miRNA...

Small non-coding RNAs have been extensively studied in plants over the last decade. In contrast, genome-wide identification of plant long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has recently gained momentum. LncRNAs are now being recognized as important players in...
