TLDR

Non-coding RNAs seem to be particularly abundant in roles that require highly specific nucleic acid recognition without complex catalysis, such as in directing post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression or in guiding RNA modifications.

Abstract:

Non-coding RNA (ncRNA) genes produce functional RNA molecules rather than encoding proteins. However, almost all means of gene identification assume that genes encode proteins, so even in the era of complete genome sequences, ncRNA genes have been effectively invisible. Recently, several different systematic screens have identified a surprisingly large number of new ncRNA genes. Non-coding RNAs seem to be particularly abundant in roles that require highly specific nucleic acid recognition without complex catalysis, such as in directing post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression or in guiding RNA modifications.

TL;DR: A novel graph theoretic model is introduced for analyzing algorithms based on this approach, it is proved that the RNA multiple alignment problem is NP-Complete in this model, and a polynomial time algorithm is presented that approximates the optimal structure of size S within a factor of O(log^2S).

Genetics Selection Evolution

TL;DR: Use of variant category-based genome-wide significance thresholds can marginally increase the power to detect the candidate genes in cattle with continued improvements in annotation of the bovine genome, and it is anticipated that the growing usefulness of variant categories-based significance thresholds will be demonstrated.

Triggered covalent probes for imaging and silencing genetic expression

Niles A. Pierce, +1 more

TL;DR: In this article, the use of cross-linking probes to covalently bind probes to nucleic acid targets is described. But the method is restricted to the case where the probe consists of an initiator region that is able to bind to a first portion of a target nucleus, a probe region linked too the initiator, and a blocking region hybridized to the probe region.

TL;DR: Results indicate that some of pseudogenes and non-coding genomic regions are transcribed in Mycobacterium leprae and analysis of RNA expression patterns including pseudogene andNon-Coding genomic region in M. lePrae may be useful in understanding the pathological states of infected patients.
