This book presents a state-of-the-art compilation of articles on
the role of non-coding RNAs as pivotal molecules for establishing
functional relationships between different organisms. It also
describes how non-coding RNA molecules can act as dynamic
communication devices and how they modulate the interaction between
different kingdoms. It describes examples including viruses,
bacteria, fungi, and higher organisms such as protozoa that are
involved in pathogenic or symbiotic interactions, and the roles of
different families of non-coding RNAs within these relationships.
Each chapter provides readers molecular and functional insights,
breaking down the subjacent mechanisms and exploring their
functional implications and future applications. More than sixty
years after the foundation of the “RNA tie club” by George Gamow,
new roles for non-coding RNA molecules are starting to be
revealed.
