Recently, researchers have uncovered the presence of many long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in embryonic stem cells and believe they are important regulators of the differentiation process. However, there are only a few examples explicitly linking lncRNA activity to transcriptional regulation. Here, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania used transcript counting and spatial localization to characterize a lncRNA (dubbed linc-HOXA1) located ...
