Systematic analysis and characterization of long non-coding RNA genes in inflammatory bowel disease.

ABSTRACT: The cases of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are increasing rapidly around the world. Due to the multifactorial causes of IBD, there is an urgent need to understand the pathogenesis of IBD. As such, the usage of high-throughput techniques to profile genetic mutations, microbiome environments, transcriptome and proteome (e.g. lipidome) is increasing to understand the molecular changes associated with IBD, including two major etiologies of IBD: Crohn disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). In the case of transcriptome data, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) technique is used frequently. However, only protein-coding genes are analyzed, leaving behind all other RNAs, including non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) to be unexplored. Among these ncRNAs, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) may hold keys to understand th
