Non-coding RNA — A non coding RNA (ncRNA) is a functional RNA molecule that is not translated into a protein. Less frequently used synonyms are non protein coding RNA (npcRNA), non messenger RNA (nmRNA) and functional RNA (fRNA). The term small RNA (sRNA) is… … Wikipedia

Long non-coding RNA — Long noncoding RNAs (long ncRNAs) are generally considered (somewhat arbitrarily) as non protein coding transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides. This limit is due to practical considerations including the separation of RNAs in common experimental … Wikipedia
Conserved non-coding sequence — A conserved non coding sequence (CNS) is a DNA sequence of noncoding DNA that is evolutionarily conserved. These sequences are of interest for their potential to regulate gene production.[1] CNSs in plants[2] and animals[1] are highly associated… … Wikipedia
DNA-encoded chemical library — DNA encoded chemical libraries (DEL) are a new technology for the synthesis and screening of collections of chemical compounds of unprecedented size and quality. DEL represents an advance in medicinal chemistry which bridges the fields of… … Wikipedia
Non-homologous end joining — (NHEJ) is a pathway that repairs double strand breaks in DNA. NHEJ is referred to as non homologous because the break ends are directly ligated without the need for a homologous template, in contrast to homologous recombination, which requires a… … Wikipedia
DNA — For a non technical introduction to the topic, see Introduction to genetics. For other uses, see DNA (disambiguation). The structure of the DNA double helix. The atoms in the structure are colour coded by element and the detailed structure of two … Wikipedia
Coding strand — When referring to DNA transcription, the coding strand is the DNA strand which has the same base sequence as the RNA transcript produced (although with thymine replaced by uracil). It is this strand which contains codons, while the non coding… … Wikipedia

Noncoding DNA — In genetics, noncoding DNA describes components of an organism s DNA sequences that do not encode for protein sequences. In many eukaryotes, a large percentage of an organism s total genome size is noncoding DNA, although the amount of noncoding… … Wikipedia
