The noncoding genome, or the portion of the genome that does not encode for proteins, encompasses >95% of the human genome. It has been found that the majority of disease-associated genetic variants identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are located in this noncoding 95%, where they have the potential to affect regions that control transcription (promoters, enhancers) and noncoding RNAs that also can influence gene expression. The discovery of these alterations has already contributed to a better understanding of the etiology of human diseases and has begun to yield insight into the function of these noncoding loci I am interested in studying how the noncoding genome functions and contributes to human development and disease pathology, especially when it is considered that our understanding of human disease is almost entirely contained within the realm of the

Since its early discovery as a messenger, RNA has been shown to play a diverse set of regulatory, structural and even catalytic roles. The more recent understanding that the genome is pervasively transcribed stimulated the discovery of a new prevalent class of long non coding RNAs (lncRNAs). While these are lower abundant and relatively less conserved than other class of functional RNAs, lncRNAs are emerging as key players in different cellular processes in development and disease.

Recent advances in transcriptome analysis have revealed a large number of non-protein coding transcripts that have previously been uncharacterized. A subset of these molecules, termed long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), has been implicated in the regulation of chromatin states. Here, we detail a journey of lncRNA discovery and analysis, beginning from the de novo discovery of lncRNAs within the promoters of cell cycle genes, followed by the functional characterization of select candidates. We characterize two examples that regulate the p53-mediated DNA damage response. LncRNA PANDA blocks the apoptosis pathway by inhibiting the transcription factor NF-YA, and lncRNA DINO regulates the p53 transcriptional response by regulating SET7-mediated post-translational modification. Altogether, these studies support a model whereby pervasive lncRNA transcripts, previously discarded as transcriptional byproducts, function through diverse mechanisms as critical regulators of biological pathways.

The growth of human population has increased the demand for improved yield and quality of crops and horticultural plants. However, plant productivity continues to be threatened by stresses such as heat, cold, drought, heavy metals, UV radiations, bacterial and fungal pathogens, and insect pests. Long noncoding RNAs are associated with various developmental pathways, regulatory systems, abiotic and biotic stress responses and signaling, and can provide an alternative strategy for stress management in plants. Long Noncoding RNAs in Plants: Roles in development and stress provides the most recent advances in LncRNAs, including identification, characterization, and their potential applications and uses. Introductory chapters include the basic features and brief history of development of lncRNAs studies in plants. The book then provides the knowledge about the lncRNAs in various important agricultural and horticultural crops such as cereals, legumes, fruits, vegetables, and fiber crop cotton, and their roles and applications in abiotic and biotic stress management. - Includes the latest advances and research in long noncoding RNAs in plants - Provides alternative strategies for abiotic and biotic stress management in horticultural plants and agricultural crops - Focuses on the application and uses of long noncoding RNAs

This book offers a comprehensive and detailed overview of various aspects of long non-coding RNAs. It discusses their emerging significance in molecular medicine, ranging from human cancers to cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Transcriptomic studies have demonstrated that the majority of genomes found in complex organisms are expressed in highly dynamic and cell-specific patterns, producing huge numbers of intergenic, antisense and intronic long non-protein-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Thousands of lncRNAs have been identified, and unlike mRNA, they have no protein-coding capacity. A large repertoire of ncRNAs, actively transcribed from the mammalian genome, control diverse cellular processes, both in terms of development and diseases, through a variety of gene regulatory mechanisms. IncRNAs have emerged as a new paradigm in epigenetic regulation of the genome. Given its scope, the book will be of particular interest to molecular, chemical, cell and developmental biologists, as well as specialists in translational medicine involved in disease-oriented research. It also offers a valuable resource for in silico experts seeking a deeper understanding of lncRNA expression and function through computational analysis of the NGS data.
