Non-coding RNA

Despite the existence of various molecular marker systems there are still limitations in distinguishing between closely related species based on molecular divergence, especially when hybridization events have occurred in the past. The characterisation of plant small nucleolar RN…

Non-coding RNAs hold important regulatory functions in cells, but little attention has been given to how these functions evolved. ciRS-7 (CDR1-as) is a circular non-coding RNA known to act as a “sponge” for microRNA (miRNA), allowing rapid changes to gene expression. Because it …
