A long noncoding RNA-associated competing endogenous RNA network in periodontitis

lncrna

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical and complex roles in regulating various biological processes of periodontitis. This bioinformatic study aims to construct a putative competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network by integrating lncRNA, miRNA and mRNA expression, based on high-throughput RNA sequencing and microarray data about periodontitis. University of Leipzig researchers constructed a lncRNA-associated ceRNA network from miRNA and mRNA expression ...

Long Non-coding RNAs in the Cytoplasm

lncRNA

Mammalian genome is pervasively transcribed into many different complex families of RNA. However, less than 2% of mammalian genome is transcribed into mRNA to encode proteins, whereas major portion of the genome is transcribed into interweaved and overlapping transcripts that include thousands of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) transcripts. ncRNAs more than 200 nucleotides in length are called long ncRNAs (lncRNAs), which ...
