The Landscape of long noncoding RNA classification

TL;DR: The conceptual guidelines that have emerged for their classification and functional annotation based on expanding and more comprehensive use of large systems biology-based datasets are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-coding RNAs as drug targets

TL;DR: The growing field of ncRNA — including microRNA, intronic RNA, repetitive RNA and long non-coding RNA — is discussed and the potential and challenges in their therapeutic exploitation are assessed.

Chromatin Replication and Epigenome Maintenance

Constance Alabert, +1 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the importance of chromatin structure and organization in eukaryotic genomes and their importance in maintaining the integrity of both genome and epigenome integrity with severe consequences for the organism.

Differentiation of mammary tumors and reduction in metastasis upon Malat1 lncRNA loss

TL;DR: It is reported that genetic loss or systemic knockdown of Malat1 using antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) in the MMTV-PyMT- and Her2/neu-amplified tumor organoids model results in slower tumor growth accompanied by significant differentiation into cystic tumors and a reduction in metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Therapeutic Targeting of Long Non-Coding RNAs in Cancer.

TL;DR: Examples of lncRNAs that demonstrate the diversity of their function in various cancer types are discussed and recent advances in nucleic acid drug development with a focus on oligonucleotide-based therapies as a novel approach to inhibit tumor progression are discussed.

The Pfam protein families database

TL;DR: The definition and use of family-specific, manually curated gathering thresholds are explained and some of the features of domains of unknown function (also known as DUFs) are discussed, which constitute a rapidly growing class of families within Pfam.
Journal ArticleDOI

An integrated encyclopedia of DNA elements in the human genome

TL;DR: The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements project provides new insights into the organization and regulation of the authors' genes and genome, and is an expansive resource of functional annotations for biomedical research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global quantification of mammalian gene expression control

TL;DR: Using a quantitative model, the first genome-scale prediction of synthesis rates of mRNAs and proteins is obtained and it is found that the cellular abundance of proteins is predominantly controlled at the level of translation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long non-coding RNA HOTAIR reprograms chromatin state to promote cancer metastasis

TL;DR: It is shown that lincRNAs in the HOX loci become systematically dysregulated during breast cancer progression, indicating that l incRNAs have active roles in modulating the cancer epigenome and may be important targets for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Landscape of transcription in human cells

Sarah Djebali, +87 more
- 06 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: Evidence that three-quarters of the human genome is capable of being transcribed is reported, as well as observations about the range and levels of expression, localization, processing fates, regulatory regions and modifications of almost all currently annotated and thousands of previously unannotated RNAs that prompt a redefinition of the concept of a gene.
