Workshop “The Regulatory Roles of ncRNA”

Posted by Catarina Vicente, on 1 July 2015

Noncoding RNAs are involved in virtually every level of cellular biology, and are altered in many diseases. This workshop will cover studies across diverse organisms, where common RNA based principles are at once similar and yet very diverse, and where the application of the latest genomic technologies has allowed surveying transcriptomes to an unprecedented degree, triggering the rapid emergence of this field. We will discuss the latest progress towards the understanding of the functions and mechanisms of non-coding RNAs in gene regulation, including epigenetic and transcriptional regulation, genome stability and posttranscriptional regulation, as well as the alterations and roles of non-coding RNAs in cancer.
