Diverse roles for RNA. Schematic of the diversified roles for various RNA molecules, including but not limited to messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA), piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA), tRNA-derived stress-induced RNA (tiRNA), microRNA (miRNA), short interfering RNA (siRNA), long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), and circular non-coding RNA (circRNA). Emphasis is given to miRNAs and siRNAs that are the primary focus of this review article
