Long Non-Coding RNA
From Disease Biomarkers to Targeted Therapeutics
Once dismissed as genomic “noise,” Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) are now known to regulate genes and are involved in diverse diseases like cancer. As their mechanisms are still ambiguous, this book provides a comprehensive account of lncRNA research.

The biological role of heterochromatin, our non-coding DNA, is a mystery. This study of Q-heterochromatin variability in humans reveals that differences are related to environmental factors, not race, and that our ability to adapt to extreme conditions depends on its amount.
