MIT Team Shows How lncRNA Works

lncRNA

from Genetic Engineering News – Researchers at  MIT say they have deciphered the structure of one type of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and used that information to figure out how it interacts with a cellular protein to control the development of heart muscle cells. This is one of first studies to link the structure of lncRNAs to their function. “Emerging ...

Long non-coding RNA Databases in Cardiovascular Research

lncrna

With rising interest in the regulatory functions of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in complex human diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, there is an increasing need in public databases offering comprehensive and integrative data for all aspects of these versatile molecules. Recently, a variety of public data repositories specialized in lncRNAs have been developed, which make use of huge high-throughput data ...
