Abstract:
The discovery of new classes of non-coding RNAs has always been preceded or accompanied by technological breakthroughs, and these outstanding progresses in transcriptomics approaches enabled to regularly add new members to the list. From the first detection of tRNAs, through the revolution of miRNAs discovery, to the recent identification of eRNAs or the identification of new functions for already known ncRNAs, this introductive review provides a very concise historical and functional overview of most prominent small regulatory non-coding RNA families.

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.
