lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs02:39

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

10.0K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

Types of RNA01:20

Types of RNA

10.1K
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 regulating 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.

Non-LTR Retrotransposons03:18

Non-LTR Retrotransposons

13.5K
As the name suggests, non-LTR retrotransposons lack the long terminal repeats characteristic of the LTR retrotransposons. Additionally, both LTR and non-LTR retrotransposons use distinct mechanisms of mobilization. Non-LTR retrotransposons are further divided into two classes - Long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs) and short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs), both of which occur abundantly in most mammals, including humans. Some of the active non-LTR retrotransposons in humans are L1...

RNA Splicing01:32

RNA Splicing

60.9K
Splicing is the process by which eukaryotic RNA is edited before its translation into protein. The RNA strand transcribed from eukaryotic DNA is called the primary transcript. The primary transcripts that become mRNAs are called precursor messenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs). Eukaryotic pre-mRNA contains alternating sequences of exons and introns. Exons are nucleotide sequences that code for proteins, whereas introns are the non-coding regions. In RNA splicing, introns are removed and exons are bonded...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Evolutionary Biology

Background:

  • Protein-coding genes are largely discovered, yet genome size and complexity increase.
  • Nonprotein-coding DNA sequences expand disproportionately with evolutionary complexity.
  • These noncoding regions are extensively transcribed into regulatory molecules.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the role of noncoding genomic sequences in evolution and development.
  • To investigate the function of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in mammalian systems.
  • To understand how noncoding RNA variations impact traits and diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Genome and transcriptome analysis across eukaryotes.
  • Identification and characterization of noncoding transcripts.
  • Focus on long noncoding RNAs (>200 nucleotides).

Main Results:

  • Nonprotein-coding sequences increase with evolutionary complexity.
  • Extensive transcription occurs in noncoding genomic regions.
  • Noncoding transcripts, particularly lncRNAs, are crucial regulators.

Conclusions:

  • Noncoding RNAs represent a key layer of regulatory information.
  • lncRNAs play significant roles in mammalian development and disease.
  • Sequence variations in noncoding RNAs influence evolution, traits, and disease susceptibility.
