The last decade has seen an explosion of interest in new classes of non-coding RNA. While some are now firmly established as new categories of legitimate functional RNAs, the purpose and even existence of others remain to be solidified. Here, we discuss the challenges associated with discovery and characterization of non-traditional categories of non-coding RNA.
在过去十年中,人们对新型非编码RNA产生了浓厚兴趣。虽然有些现已被明确确立为新型的、具有实际功能的RNA类别,但其他一些的用途甚至是否存在仍有待确定。在此,我们讨论与非传统类别的非编码RNA的发现和特性描述相关的挑战。
