A ceRNA Hypothesis: The Rosetta Stone of a Hidden RNA Language?

TLDR
It is proposed that this "competing endogenous RNA" (ceRNA) activity forms a large-scale regulatory network across the transcriptome, greatly expanding the functional genetic information in the human genome and playing important roles in pathological conditions, such as cancer.

starBase v2.0: decoding miRNA-ceRNA, miRNA-ncRNA and protein–RNA interaction networks from large-scale CLIP-Seq data

TL;DR: This study developed starBase v2.0, which has been updated to provide the most comprehensive CLIP-Seq experimentally supported miRNA-mRNA and mi RNA-lncRNA interaction networks to date, and developed miRFunction and ceRNAFunction web servers to predict the function of miRNAs and other ncRNAs from themiRNA-mediated regulatory networks.

The multilayered complexity of ceRNA crosstalk and competition

TL;DR: Understanding this novel RNA crosstalk will lead to significant insight into gene regulatory networks and have implications in human development and disease.

Long non-coding RNAs: new players in cell differentiation and development

TL;DR: The function of lncRNAs in developmental processes, such as in dosage compensation, genomic imprinting, cell differentiation and organogenesis, with a particular emphasis on mammalian development are described.

A Long Noncoding RNA Controls Muscle Differentiation by Functioning as a Competing Endogenous RNA

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that linc-MD1 exerts the same control over differentiation timing in human myoblasts, and that its levels are strongly reduced in Duchenne muscle cells, indicating that the ceRNA network plays an important role in muscle differentiation.

The emerging role of lncRNAs in cancer

TL;DR: The strategies that led to the identification of cancer-related lncRNAs and the methodologies and challenges involving the study of these molecules are discussed, as well as the imminent applications of these findings to the clinic.

Most mammalian mRNAs are conserved targets of microRNAs

TL;DR: This work overhauled its tool for finding preferential conservation of sequence motifs and applied it to the analysis of human 3'UTRs, increasing by nearly threefold the detected number of preferentially conserved miRNA target sites.

Identification and analysis of functional elements in 1% of the human genome by the ENCODE pilot project

Ewan Birney, +320 more
- 14 Jun 2007 - 
TL;DR: Functional data from multiple, diverse experiments performed on a targeted 1% of the human genome as part of the pilot phase of the ENCODE Project are reported, providing convincing evidence that the genome is pervasively transcribed, such that the majority of its bases can be found in primary transcripts.

Chromatin signature reveals over a thousand highly conserved large non-coding RNAs in mammals

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that specific lincRNAs are transcriptionally regulated by key transcription factors in these processes such as p53, NFκB, Sox2, Oct4 (also known as Pou5f1) and Nanog, defining a unique collection of functional linc RNAs that are highly conserved and implicated in diverse biological processes.
