Abstract: Non-coding RNAs have been the hot frontier of life sciences in recent years. Systematic studies of the origins， structures， biological function and their mechanisms of non-coding RNAs will provide new avenues to help us understand the complicated mechanisms of gene regulation as well as cellular activities. Since scientific breakthrough highly relies on technology innovations， here we summarize the main strategies and techniques in non-coding RNA research.
