- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 分子生物学分子生物学
- 基因组学就是基因组学.
背景情况:
- 大肠直肠癌 (CRC) 呈现出显著的异质性,使转移预测和治疗复杂化.
- 目前的生物标志物研究主要集中在蛋白质上,忽视了像长非编码RNA (lncRNA) 这样的非编码RNA (ncRNA).
- lncRNAs代表了转录组的很大一部分,并表现出高的组织和癌症特异性表达,使它们成为有希望的生物标记者候选人.

02:39lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs
8.5K
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...

3.5K
Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.
