Navigating Non-Coding Rna

<i>Navigating Non-coding RNA: From Biogenesis to Therapeutic Application</i> provides a concise overview of the field of non-coding RNA (ncRNA). The book begins with a brief history of the discoveries that have occurred in the area of ncRNA, then moving on to more detailed chapters on specific types of ncRNA. Housekeeping ncRNAs such as ribosomal RNA, transfer RNA, small nuclear RNA and telomerase RNA are discussed, followed by regulatory ncRNAs such as microRNA, small interfering RNA, long non-coding RNA and Y RNA. Biogenesis, structure, function, and regulation of each of these are explored, in addition to traditional and cutting-edge methods for identification, functional characterization and structural characterization of ncRNA. The book also focuses on the different types of epitranscriptomic modifications and their involvement in regulating ncRNA structure, stability, and intermolecular interactions, in addition to the role of ncRNAs in a range of diseases and potential therapeut
