Abstract:
Enhancers are distal regulatory sequences that control gene expression in development. Ørom et al. now report in Cell that some long noncoding RNAs have functional properties of enhancers. Known enhancers are also transcribed in cells in which they are active, suggesting that noncoding RNAs are integral to enhancer action.

Types of RNA
Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These RNAs perform diverse functions and can be broadly classified as protein-coding or non-coding RNA. Non-coding RNAs play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in response to developmental and environmental changes. Non-coding RNAs in prokaryotes can be manipulated to develop more effective antibacterial drugs for human or animal use.
