lincRNAs Display Distinctive Patterns of Transcription and RNA Processing

lncRNA

Numerous long intervening noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) are generated from the mammalian genome by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription. Although multiple functions have been ascribed to lincRNAs, their synthesis and turnover remain poorly characterized. Here, University of Oxford researchers define systematic differences in transcription and RNA processing between protein-coding and lincRNA genes in human HeLa cells. This is based on ...
