Suggested reading: Non-coding RNAs and Epigenetic Regulation of Gene Expression Epigenetics: A Reference Manual
February 7 - 12, 2012 Gene Silencing by Small RNAs
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Further information
Keystone Symposium. The impact of small non-coding RNAs has profoundly touched the fields of development and cell biology, functional genomics, human disease and drug therapy. This mode of gene regulation is not restricted to eukaryotes; bacteria utilize small RNAs, notably those made from CRISPR loci that silence the expression of bacteriophages, transposons and plasmids.
