Differentiation of specialized cell types from stem and progenitor cells is tightly regulated at
several levels, both during development and during somatic tissue homeostasis. Many long …

Non-coding RNAs represent a majority of the human transcriptome. However, less is known
about the functions and regulatory mechanisms of most non-coding species. Moreover, little …

Abstract Background Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in a wide range
of biological processes in mammals and plants. However, the systematic examination of …

Target mimicry is a recently identified regulatory mechanism for microRNA (miRNA)
functions in plants in which the decoy RNAs bind to miRNAs via complementary sequences …

Highlights•lncRNAs are the largest class of non-coding RNA genes in mammalian
genomes.•lncRNAs are expressed in a variety of immune cells.•Recent studies demonstrate …

There is an expanding list of examples by which one mRNA can posttranscriptionally
influence the expression of others. This can involve RNA sponges that sequester regulatory …

The importance of long non‐coding RNA s (lnc RNA s) in plant development has been
established, but a systematic analysis of lnc RNA s expressed during pollen development …

Background Accumulating evidence indicates that circRNAs may serve as essential
regulators in the progression of several human cancers, but the function and mechanism of …

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) that were once considered “dark matter” or “transcriptional
noise” in genomes are research hotspots in the field of epigenetics. The most well-known …

One of the important functions of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is to be competing
endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs). As miR398 is reported to respond to different stressors, it is …
