Non-coding RNA (ncRNA)

Definition
AI-generated

RNA functional product not serving as mRNA template—includes rRNA, tRNA, miRNA, lncRNA, etc.

Why it matters in GWAS

GWAS hits are interpreted through gene structure, regulation, and variant consequence; molecular vocabulary connects association statistics to mechanism.

Example usage

"Downstream interpretation uses Non-coding RNA (ncRNA) to link statistical findings to biological context."
