Translation of noncoding RNAs and cancer

B Zhou, H Yang, C Yang, Y Bao, S Yang, J Liu, Y Xiao - Cancer letters, 2021 - Elsevier
The human genome contains thousands of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), which are thought to
lack open reading frames (ORFs) and cannot be translated. Some ncRNAs reportedly have …
