The functions and unique features of long intergenic non-coding RNA

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 19, 143 (2018). doi:10.1038/nrm.2017.104 Authors: Julia D. Ransohoff, Yuning Wei & Paul A. Khavari Long intergenic non-coding RNA (lincRNA) genes have diverse features that distinguish them from mRNA-encoding genes and exercise functions such as remodelling chromatin and genome architecture, RNA stabilization and transcription regulation, including enhancer-associated activity. Some genes currently annotated as encoding lincRNAs include small open reading frames
