A “coding” long non-coding RNA

lncRNA

from Genetic Engineering News Although long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are by definition noncoding, they are known to encode disproportionately short molecules—mere polypeptides, not proteins. Whether these polypeptides matter very much is another question. They could represent nothing more than transcriptional noise, or they could be—as a new study suggests—functionally relevant. In the new study, scientists based at Beth Israel Deaconess ...
