Genomic imprinting disorders: lessons on how genome, epigenome and environment interact
Genomic imprinting, the monoallelic and parent-of-origin-dependent expression of a subset
of genes, is required for normal development, and its disruption leads to human disease …

Non-coding RNAs as drug targets
M Matsui, DR Corey - Nature reviews Drug discovery, 2017 - nature.com
Most of the human genome encodes RNAs that do not code for proteins. These non-coding
RNAs (ncRNAs) may affect normal gene expression and disease progression, making them …
