Abstract
Recent years have witnessed many remarkable discoveries in the life sciences that have led to major paradigm shifts. An example is the emerging appreciation of the critical role of noncoding RNAs in a broad range of physiological and pathological processes. One such class of noncoding RNAs, the microRNAs (miRNAs), controls intricate networks of gene expression via post-transcriptional mechanisms. Originally described in animals by V. Ambros and G. Ruvkin in 1993, microRNAs are now recognized to impact human development and health in many ways. Another distinct and rapidly growing class of noncoding RNA, the long ncRNAs (lncRNAs), is also implicated in gene regulation and disease.
