What is the Role of Non-coding RNAs in Epigenetic Inheritance?
Non-coding RNAs, such as microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs, play a significant role in regulating epigenetic modifications. They can recruit chromatin-modifying complexes to specific genomic loci, thereby influencing gene expression. In histology, understanding the role of non-coding RNAs can provide insights into tissue-specific epigenetic regulation and its impact on health and disease.
