Abstract:
Long noncoding RNAs are becoming increasingly appreciated as major players in gene regulation. They have been reported to play diverse roles in many biological processes. Here, we discuss their discovery, features, and known functions in cells. While not comprehensive, this chapter should serve to illustrate the power and promise of studying long noncoding RNAs.

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.
