Mouse model helped team find MAARS lncRNA, which may contribute to atherosclerotic plaque buildup Atherosclerosis is marked by the buildup of inflammatory cells which narrow arteries to the...

Accurately reconstructing gene co-expression network is of great importance for uncovering the genetic architecture underlying complex and various phenotypes. The recent availability of high-throughput RNA-seq sequencing has made genome-wide...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in human pathology, however, their role in colorectal carcinogenesis have not been fully elucidated. In the current study, researchers from Baylor...

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a large class of gene transcripts with regulatory functions discovered in recent years. Many more are expected to be...

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a key role in normal tissue differentiation and cancer development through their tissue-specific expression in the human transcriptome. Recent investigations of macromolecular interactions have shown that tissue-specific lncRNAs form base-pairing interactions with various mRNAs associated ...

Long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) are an abundant and functionally diverse class of eukaryotic transcripts. Reported lincRNA repertoires in mammals vary, but are commonly in the thousands to tens of thousands of transcripts, covering ~90% of the genome. In addition ...

The emergence of next-generation sequencing platforms has enabled the discovery and interrogation of RNA from tissues, biofluids, and extracellular vesicles at remarkable levels. Recently, interest has grown in sequencing RNA found in extracellular vesicles called exosomes, because of their role ...

Functional characterization of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their pathological relevance is still a challenging task. Abnormal expression of a few long non-coding RNAs have been found associated with hepatocellular carcinoma, with potential implications to both improve our understanding of ...

from OncologyNurseAdvisor by Joyce Pagan SAN ANTONIO, TX—In the largest reported compendia of breast cancer long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), BRCAT431 was identified as the top lncRNA upregulated in ER-positive breast cancers, and a novel mechanism by which this lncRNA functions ...

Models for how lncRNAs function depend on thermodynamically stable secondary and higher-order structures that RNAs can form in the context of a cell. Probing accessible RNA bases can provide data to build models of RNA conformation that provide insight into ...
