Non-Coding RNA, Volume 8, Issue 6

LncRNAs are involved in regulatory processes in the human genome, including gene expression. The rs35705950 SNP, previously associated with IPF, overlaps with the recently annotated lncRNA AC061979.1, a 1712 nucleotide transcript located within the M...

Evolutionary conservation is a measure of gene functionality that is widely used to prioritise long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA) in cancer research. Intriguingly, while updating our Cancer LncRNA Census (CLC), we observed an inverse relationship between y...

Castration resistance is the leading cause of death in men with prostate cancer. Recent studies indicate long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) to be important drivers of therapy resistance. The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed lncRN...

Background: SOX2OT is a novel cancer associated long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) with higher expression in variable tumor tissues, including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). It also plays an important function in embryonic neuronal development....

We conducted this meta-analysis to estimate associations between CDKN2B antisense (CDKN2B-AS) rs2383207 polymorphism and susceptibility to atherosclerosis. A systematic literature research of Google Scholar and PubMed was performed to identify eligib...

Cells change their physiological state in response to environmental cues. In the absence of nutrients, unicellular fungi such as budding yeast exit mitotic proliferation and enter the meiotic cycle, leading to the production of haploid cells that are...

Introduction: Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNA) represent a heterogeneous family of RNAs that have emerged as regulators of various biological processes through their association with proteins in ribonucleoproteins complexes. The dynamic of these interac...

Numerous noninvasive methods are currently being used to determine biomarkers for diseases such as cancer. However, these methods are not always precise and reliable. Thus, there is an unmet need for better diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers that w...

Evidence accumulated over the past decades shows that the number of identified antisense transcripts is continuously increasing, promoting them from transcriptional noise to real genes with specific functions. Indeed, recent studies have begun to unr...
