Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'Beside these well-known molecules there is a vast unknown world of tiny RNAs (RiboNucleic Acids) that might play a crucial role in a number of cellular processes. Those elements are named noncoding RNAs (ncRNA) and they play their function without transcription to the protein product. Here is proposed development of integrated bioinformatics platform that is specifically addressed for detecting, verifying, and classifying of noncoding RNAs. This complex approach to "Computational RNomics" will provide the pipeline which will be capable of detecting RNA motifs with low sequence conservation. It will also integrate RNA motif prediction which should significantly improve the quality of the RNA homolog search. The first commercial application is the integrated system for detection of new regulatory elements located in the non coding genome parts. Up to now numerous human disorders have been found to be related to some of the noncoding RNA’s The second application of the project is so called RNA nanotechnology. It is designing of artificial nanoparticles, which are assembled mainly from ribonucleic acid which possess both the right size and ability to gain entry into cells and halt viral growth or cancer's progress or deliver drugs. The project will benefit from latest achievements in High Performance Computing and General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units and Graph theory.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
European research is uncovering as yet unknown aspects of the human genome. As there is a lot more to gene coding than proteins, scientists have turned their attention to the many types of ribonucleic acids (RNA).
