Abstract:
The last decade has seen an explosion of interest in new classes of non-coding RNA. While some are now firmly established as new categories of legitimate functional RNAs, the purpose and even existence of others remain to be solidified. Here, we discuss the challenges associated with discovery and characterization of non-traditional categories of non-coding RNA.

Transcription
Transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA sequence by RNA polymerase. It is the first step in producing a protein from a gene sequence. Additionally, many other proteins and regulatory sequences are involved in the proper synthesis of messenger RNA (mRNA). Regulation of transcription is responsible for the differentiation of all the different types of cells and often for the proper cellular response to environmental signals.
