Abstract:
In the version of this paper originally published, three references were accidentally omitted: Schwartz, J. C. et al. Cell Rep. 5, 918-925 (2013); Tundup, S. et al. FEBS Lett. 580, 1285-1293 (2006); and Itri, F. et al. Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 492, 67-73 (2017). The PDF and HTML versions of the paper now include these as references 58, 59, and 60, respectively, and subsequent references have been renumbered accordingly.

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.
