lncRNA

Nearly 20,000 lncRNAs identified in human cells may play some role in cellular activities.

Using a modified CRISPR approach, scientists shed light on the diversity and function of 499 long noncoding RNAs.

An RNA thought to be noncoding in fact encodes a small protein that regulates calcium uptake in muscle.

Long non-protein-coding RNA (lncRNA) sequences are often transcribed from the opposite, or antisense, strand of a protein coding gene. In the past few years, research has shown that these lncRNAs play a number of regulatory roles in the cell. For exa

Epigenetic changes accrued over an organism’s lifetime may leave a permanent heritable mark on the genome, through the help of long noncoding RNAs.

Genes that react to cellular sugar content are regulated by a long non-coding RNA via an unexpected mechanism

Long, non-coding regions of RNA can prevent red blood cells from committing suicide during the final stage of differentiation.
