Background Natural antisense transcripts (NAT) are a class of endogenous coding or non-
protein-coding RNAs with sequence complementarity to other transcripts. Several lines of …

Genomic evidence reveals that gene expression in humans is precisely controlled in
cellular, tissue-type, temporal, and condition-specific manners. Completely understanding …

Abstract Small RNAs (sRNAs) are 18-30 nt non-coding regulatory elements found in diverse
organisms, which were initially identified as small double-stranded RNAs in Caenorhabditis …
