Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of bioinformatics, in particular to a method for identifying lncRNAs associated with diseases. Background technique
[0002] Studies represented by the "Human Genome Project" have shown that about 93% of the sequences in the human genome can be transcribed, of which no more than 2% can encode proteins, and more than 98% are non-coding sequences. Protein transcripts are called noncoding RNA (noncoding RNA, ncRNA). Among these non-coding RNAs, one type of RNA molecules longer than 200 nt is called long non-coding RNA (long non-coding RNA, lncRNA). Generally, lncRNAs have low conservation across species, low expression levels and tissue specificity, therefore, lncRNAs were considered as transcriptional noise when they were first discovered. Recent studies have shown that lncRNA plays an important role in many life activities such as dosage compensation effect, epigenetic regulation, cell cycle regulation and cell diffe...
