Summary Introduction

Introduction: ncRNAs have the ability to bind with many different types of molecules such as DNA, other mRNAs, proteins or other small molecules and thus carry out many different functions. ncRNAs can affect different processes such as DNA replication, transcription, and translation. Examples of ncRNAs that are involved in epigenetics are miRNAs, piRNAs, and siRNAs.
