SECOND GENETIC CODE. “Discovery of a “second genetic code” consisting of ncRNAs has changed traditional concept of genomic organization characterized by presence of genes encoding islets scattered in a sea of repeats and nontranscribed proteins. Recently, high-throughput techniques have identified 58648 human lncRNAs.” (ncRNA = non coding RNA; lncRNA = long non coding RNA).
