non-coding RNA (ncRNA)

RNA not translated into protein Includes: - transfer RNA - ribosomal RNA - small non-coding RNAs - including siRNAs, miRNAs, piRNAs, snoRNAs, snRNAs, exRNAs, scaRNAs - long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) Function: - functions in regulation of gene transcription. Notes: - discrimination of coding & non-coding transcripts can be difficult.

Specific

long non-coding RNA, long intergenic non-coding RNA (lncRNA, lincRNA) small non coding rna

General

ribonucleic acid (RNA)
