Regulatory Non-Coding RNAs: Methods and Protocolsoffers a collection of methods for those interested in the discovery, localization, and functional analysis of these non-coding transcripts that have the potential and ability to orchestrate and control gene expression. After a review of the field, this detailed volume continues with methods useful for the study of siRNAs, microRNAs and their targets, techniques concerned with long non-coding RNAs, as well as studies of the critical parameters of functional non-coding RNA protein-RNA interactions and the environment in which they act. Written for the highly successfulMethods in Molecular Biologyseries, chapters include brief introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols and tips for troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.Dependable and easy to use,Regulatory Non-Coding RNAs: Methods and Protocolsprovides a current, state-of-the-art collection of methods and approaches that will be of value to researchers in this expanding and fascinating field.
