Identification of LncRNA in Lung Cancer:
One of the epigenetic mechanisms that regulate gene transcription is the RNAnc. Micro RNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can be found in this category. In the human respiratory system, it has been described that many nRNAs are responsible for normal lung development and that a dysregulation in their expression can contribute to the initiation of pathologies such as lung cancer, pulmonary obstructive disease, pulmonary fibrosis, asthma and cystic fibrosis. Our research group is interested in identifying lncRNA with biomarker potential.
