The importance of RNA-protein interactions in regulation of mRNA and non-coding RNA function is increasingly appreciated. With the development of next generation high-throughput sequencing technologies, a variety of methods have been proposed to comprehensively identify RNA-protein interactions. In this chapter, we discussed the traditional and state-of-the-art technologies that were used to study RNA-protein interaction, including experimental and computational methods. To help highlight the biological significance of RNA-protein interaction in complex diseases, online resources on RNA-protein interactions were briefly discussed. Finally, we discussed the interaction among noncoding RNAs (such as long noncoding RNAs and microRNAs) and proteins, as well as the dysregulation of RNA-protein interaction in complex diseases. These summarization will ultimately provide a more complete picture for understanding of the function of RNA-protein interactions, including how these interaction assembled and how they modulate cellular function in complex diseases.
