Description for Non-protein Coding RNAs
Hardback. This volume offers a biophysical perspective on non-protein coding RNAs. The book provides an overview on how non-protein coding RNAs work and how biophysical techniques and other probing techniques help delineate the molecular underpinnings of RNA function. Editor(s): Walter, Nils G.; Woodson, Sarah A.; Batey, Robert T. Series: Springer Series in Biophysics. Num Pages: 409 pages, 6 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: MFGC; PHVN; PSAK1; PSB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 25. Weight in Grams: 777.
The 2006 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to the discoverers of RNA interference, Andrew Fire and Craig Mello. This prize, which follows “RNA” Nobels for splicing and RNA catalysis, highlights just one class of recently discovered non-protein coding RNAs. Remarkably, non-coding RNAs are thought to outnumber protein coding genes in mammals by perhaps as much as four-fold. In fact, it appears that the complexity of an organism correlates with the fraction of its genome devoted to non-protein coding RNAs. Essential biological processes as diverse as cell differentiation, suppression of infecting viruses and parasitic tra- posons, higher-level organization ... Read more
