RNA plays a crucial role in diverse cellular functions, with long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) emerging as significant regulators. The discovery of numerous lncRNAs has expanded our understanding of their roles in gene regulation, chromatin modification, and various cellular processes. LncRNAs can influence transcription through chromatin remodeling, interact with histone-modifying complexes, and regulate gene expression by modulating mRNA processing, stability, and translation. They also participate in post-transcriptional regulation, protein activity modulation, and cell-cell signaling. Additionally, lncRNAs can act as scaffolds to organize higher-order complexes and contribute to nuclear organization. Some lncRNAs are involved in recombination and genetic diversity, particularly in immune system development. The ability of lncRNAs to function in diverse contexts highlights their importance in cellular processes. Despite the growing body of research, many lncRNAs remain poorly characterized, and their full functional repertoire is still being explored. The study of lncRNAs is expanding our understanding of gene regulation and the complexity of the genome.RNA plays a crucial role in diverse cellular functions, with long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) emerging as significant regulators.
