Types of non-coding RNA molecule.
Description
There are types of ncRNAs categorized according to their functional role in the biological aspect; housekeeping and regulatory ncRNAs. The housekeeping ncRNAs include ribosomal RNA (rRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), small nuclear RNA (snRNA), and small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA). Regulatory ncRNAs are microRNA (miRNA), small interfering RNA (siRNA), piwi RNA (piRNA), and small Cajal body-specific RNA (scaRNA), long intergenic ncRNAs (lincRNA), circular RNA (circRNA),
