(Since the late 1990s, it has been widely acknowledged that other types of untranslated RNA molecules are present in many different organisms ranging from bacteria to mammals, and are affecting a large variety of processes including plasmid replication, phage development, chromosome structure, DNA transcription, RNA processing and modification, development control and more. These untranslated RNA molecules have been given a variety of names, the term small RNAs (sRNAs) predominantly used for bacterial RNAs while the term noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) has been more common in eukaryotes. In order to have a common term for all such RNAs, we have opted to call all of these functional RNA noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs).)
found: Wikipedia, May 5, 2006(A non-coding RNA (ncRNA) is any RNA molecule that functions without being translated into a protein. A commonly used synonym is small RNA (sRNA). Less-frequently used synonyms are non-messenger RNA (nmRNA), small non-messenger RNA (snmRNA), or functional RNA (fRNA). The most prominent examples of non-coding RNAs are transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA), both of which are involved in the process of translation and gene expression. However, since the late 1990s, many new non-coding RNAs have been found, and thus non-coding RNAs may play a much more significant role than previously thought.)
