New roles emerge for non-coding RNAs in directing embryonic development
New roles emerge for non-coding RNAs in directing embryonic development
Broad scientists discovered several years ago that the human and mouse genomes encode thousands of unusual RNAs — termed large, intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) —but their role was almost entirely unknown. By studying more than 100 lincRNAs in ES cells, the researchers now show that these RNAs help regulate development by physically interacting with proteins to coordinate gene expression and suggest that lincRNAs may play similar roles in most cells.

Missing links of the transcriptome
Despite the many discoveries of the genomic era, much of the human genome remains unexplored. Researchers have now discovered the identity of some of those unknown players and introduce a vast new class of genomic characters that function directly as RNA molecules.
