scopeNote |
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are involved in many biological processes and are increasingly seen as important. As is the case with proteins, it is the overall structure of the molecule which imparts function. However, while similar protein structures are often reflected in a conserved amino acid sequence, sequences underlying RNA secondary structure are very variable; this makes ncRNAs difficult to detect using sequence alone. http://www.ensembl.org/info/genome/genebuild/ncrna.html 2014/10/09 (RD) |
