Abstract:
The pervasive transcription of the genome creates many types of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). However, we know very little regarding the functions and the regulatory mechanisms of these ncRNAs. Exploring the interactions of RNA and RNA binding proteins (RBPs) is vital because it can allow us to truly understand how these ncRNAs behave in vivo. High-throughput sequencing of RNA isolated by cross-linking immunoprecipitation (HITS-CLIP or CLIP-seq) and its variants have been successfully used as systemic techniques to study RBP binding sites. In this review, we will explain the major differences between the CLIP techniques, summarize successful applications of these techniques, discuss limitations of CLIP, present some suggested solutions and project their promising future roles in studying the RNA world.

Nucleic acids
DNA and RNA
The two main types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA is the genetic material in all living organisms, ranging from single-celled bacteria to multicellular mammals. It is in the nucleus of eukaryotes and in the organelles, chloroplasts, and mitochondria. In prokaryotes,...

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.
