Non‐coding RNAs: regulators of disease

RJ Taft, KC Pang, TR Mercer, M Dinger… - The Journal of …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
For 50 years the term 'gene'has been synonymous with regions of the genome encoding
mRNAs that are translated into protein. However, recent genome‐wide studies have shown …

HITS‐CLIP: panoramic views of protein–RNA regulation in living cells

RB Darnell - Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: RNA, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
The study of gene regulation in cells has recently begun to shift from a period dominated by

RNA–protein interactions in human health and disease

AM Khalil, JL Rinn - Seminars in cell & developmental biology, 2011 - Elsevier
It is now clear that the genomes of many organisms encode thousands of large and small
non-coding (nc) RNAs. However, relative to the discovery of ncRNAs the functions and …

Control of messenger RNA fate by RNA‐binding proteins: an emphasis on mammalian spermatogenesis

RK Idler, W Yan - Journal of andrology, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Posttranscriptional status of messenger RNAs (mRNA) can be affected by many factors,
most of which are RNA‐binding proteins (RBP) that either bind mRNA in a nonspecific …

Functional analysis of long noncoding RNAs in development and disease

LL Chen, JC Zhao - Systems Biology of RNA Binding Proteins, 2014 - Springer
Once viewed as part of the “dark matter” of genome, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which
are mRNA-like but lack open reading frames, have emerged as an integral part of the …

The roles of the DAZ family in spermatogenesis: More than just translation?

MJW VanGompel, EY Xu - Spermatogenesis, 2011 - Taylor & Francis
