The seeds of Metasequia glyptostroboides Hu et Cheng, an endangered species, are
susceptible to aging, making natural population renewal difficult and increasing the risk of …

Background microRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small (~ 21 nucleotide) single-stranded
non-coding RNAs that typically function by guiding cleavage of target genes. To find the …

The next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies embrace advance sequencing
technologies that can generate high-throughput RNA-seq data to delve into all the possible …

The first reference to the “C-value paradox” reported an apparent imbalance between
organismal genome size and morphological complexity. Since then, next-generation …

Increasing evidence shows that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) function as important
regulatory factors during plant development, but few reports have examined lncRNAs in …

In recent years, nonprotein-coding RNAs (or npcRNAs) have emerged as a major part of the
eukaryotic transcriptome. Many new regulatory npcRNAs or riboregulators have been …

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are understudied and underannotated in plants. In
mammals, lncRNA loci are nearly as ubiquitous as protein-coding genes, and their …

Our understanding of gene regulation is constantly evolving. It is now clear that the majority
of cellular transcripts are non-coding RNAs. The spectrum of non-coding RNAs is diverse …

As sessile organisms, plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms of gene regulation to
cope with changing environments. Among them, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a …

The extraordinary maturation in high‐throughput sequencing technologies has revealed the
existence of a complex network of transcripts in eukaryotic organisms, including thousands …
