| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To elucidate the function of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are not translated into proteins but have their own functions, we have conducted many studies from an informatics perspective, focusing on "functional elements" such as RNA sequences, structures, modifications, and interactions with biological macromolecules. For example, we attempted to elucidate the functions of lncRNAs by clarifying that repeat sequences, which were thought to be junk, contribute to the tissue-specific expression of lncRNAs and to their interactions with proteins and DNA. Through these efforts, we have established information infrastructure technology that contributes to the classification of lncRNA functions, and have made it widely available to the public.
