RNA is the other major nucleic acid besides DNA. RNA is unique in being able to store and transmit the information as well as process that information. Classically RNAs can be classified into messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). RNA biomarkers allow for a very early analysis of the appearance or evolution of diseases, a differential analysis of gene expression, an informative and accurate analysis, a specific analysis of the response to drugs.
Many kinds of RNAs have been used as biomarkers, among which mRNA is the most widely studied. In recent years, many important functional RNAs that do not encode protein have been discovered, some of which have also been used as biomarkers, including some microRNAs (miRNAs), piwi-separated RNAs (piRNAs), small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), long noncoding RNAs (IncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs). ncRNAs are very stable molecules, which represents a very important prerequisite for an excellent biomarker. In addition, RNA sequencing analysis can be used for studying regular variation events, such as alternative splicing and gene fusion, both of which may be associated with disease prognosis.
