Noncoding genes account for most transcription from the genome. Eukaryotic genomes are extensively transcribed, forming both messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). Of note, ncRNAs remarkably differ from their better‐known counterpart mRNAs, including transcripts numbers and functions. Although these ncRNAs that do not code for proteins, they may affect gene expression and disease progression through a variety of mechanisms
