| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A number of noncoding RNAs that do not encode proteins are transcribed from the genome. The ncRNAs can be divided into two large groups: "small RNA", which are involved in RNA silencing, and "Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA)", which are more than 200 bases long. It is not clear how many of the lncRNAs actually have physiological functions. We have developed a method to identify novel functional lncRNA candidate genes using the property that known functional lncRNAs are highly efficiently cross-linked to proteins by mild UV irradiation. We also established a technique to analyze the fine structure formed by lncRNA using a super-resolution microscope.
