What is Inc RNA?

IncRNA, or long non-coding RNA, refers to a class of RNA molecules that are longer than 200 nucleotides and do not encode proteins. They play crucial roles in regulating gene expression, chromatin remodeling, and various cellular processes. IncRNAs can interact with DNA, RNA, and proteins, influencing transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation, thus impacting cellular function and development. Their dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer.
