Read More »Identification of Non-coding RNAs by High-Throughput Sequencing
Non-coding RNA transcripts, such as long non-coding RNAs, miRNAs, siRNAs, and transposon-originating transcripts, are involved in the regulation of RNA stability, protein translation, and/or the modulation of chromatin states. RNA-Seq can be used to catalog this diversity of novel transcripts ...
