Springer Long Non-Coding RNAs: Progress in Molecular Biology 51

Explore the complex world of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) with this specialized volume from the Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology series. Published by Springer, this book examines these molecules, which are defined as ncRNAs exceeding two hundred nucleotides in length. While genome-wide studies suggest more than 3,300 lncRNAs exist, this text focuses on the functional aspects of these identified molecules. Readers will learn how lncRNAs act as key components in the control of transcriptional and posttranscriptional gene regulatory pathways. The content covers how these molecules participate in the recruitment of chromatin modifying complexes and their roles in regulating splicing and other biological processes. This volume serves as an essential resource for those studying the diversity of sequences and the mechanisms of action within molecular biology.
