The comprehension of the molecular mechanisms at the basis of physiological or pathological cell fate, requires today bioinformatic and biostatistic approaches able to integrate and interpret the huge amount of informations derived from genome-wide approaches. Recent technological improvements, that have made possible the analysis of human diversity at different molecular levels, resulted in the development of new strategies in genetic studies aimed at the comprehension of gene regulation and cell behaviour.
Recently, a new class of molecules, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), has been identified and recognized as new player in the context of gene expression regulation at different levels.
To this aim, the goal of ongoing studies is the application of new bioinformatic tools for the characterization of lncRNAs toward the comprehension of their mechanisms of action and their role in cell physiology.
