Research progress on long non-coding RNA in parasitology

Abstract

Abstract:

Long non-noncoding RNAs(1ncRNAs) are defined as non-protein coding transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides. LncRNAs play important regulatory roles in multiple biological processes, and participate in cell proliferation, differentiation, metabolism, apoptosis, etc. LncRNAs play also important for the development, metabolism, physiology, and pathology of parasites. This review summarizes the research progress of lncRNAs in parasitology.

Key words: Long non-coding RNA, Parasite, Gene expression
