The purpose of this thread is to:
1) Share interesting findings with regards to non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs)
2) Discuss the functionality of ncRNAs
3) How ncRNAs affect evolutionary trajectories
Hopefully this thread can be fruitful and constructive as well as enlightening for all.
Mattick and Makunin I think adequately describe ncRNAs as:
