Abstract

Editorial: Bioinformatics of Non-Coding RNAs with Applications to Biomedicine: Recent Advances and Open Challenges.

Highlights

  • The recent advances in the functional characterization of non-protein-coding RNAs have represented a major breakthrough in the life sciences

  • Large-scale projects, such as ENCODE, have shown that the human genome is pervasively transcribed and that a large proportion of the mammalian transcriptome consists of ncRNA transcripts. ncRNA genes can be roughly classified into short ncRNAs (200 nt)

  • Bioinformatics tools constitute an essential resource for ncRNA research, providing a powerful means to organize, integrate, and analyze the huge amount of data generated by such technologies

Summary

Introduction

(2015) Editorial: Bioinformatics of non-coding RNAs with applications to biomedicine: recent advances and open challenges. The recent advances in the functional characterization of non-protein-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have represented a major breakthrough in the life sciences. Bioinformatics tools constitute an essential resource for ncRNA research, providing a powerful means to organize, integrate, and analyze the huge amount of data generated by such technologies.
