Lineage and species-specific long noncoding RNAs during erythro-megakaryocytic development

lncRNA

Mammals express thousands of long noncoding (lnc) RNAs, a few of which are known to function in tissue development. However, the entire repertoire of lncRNAs in most tissues and species is not defined. Indeed, most lncRNAs are not conserved, raising questions about function. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania used RNA-seq to identify 1,109 polyadenylated lncRNAs expressed in erythroblasts, megakaryocytes ...
