An understanding of the role of ribonucleic acid (RNA) within the cell has changed dramatically in recent years. Its status expanded with reports of catalytic RNA 20 years ago, of endogenous RNA interference 10 years later and noncoding RNAs very recently. Now there are a lot of data which suggest that RNA is not merely the intermediary between DNA and protein, but the functional end product. Diverse eukaryotic organisms harbor a class of noncoding, small RNAs which are thought to function as regulators of gene expression. Noncoding RNAs play a key role in many steps of epigenetic regulation.
