TLDR
A comprehensive analysis of lncRNA alterations at transcriptional, genomic, and epigenetic levels in 5,037 human tumor specimens across 13 cancer types from The Cancer Genome Atlas suggests that the expression and dysregulation of lNCRNAs are highly cancer type specific compared with protein-coding genes.

Long Noncoding RNAs in Cancer Pathways

TL;DR: It is understood that lncRNAs drive many important cancer phenotypes through their interactions with other cellular macromolecules including DNA, protein, and RNA, making these molecules attractive targets for therapeutic intervention in the fight against cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional Classification and Experimental Dissection of Long Noncoding RNAs

TL;DR: This review categorizes lncRNA loci into those that regulate gene expression in cis versus those that perform functions in trans and proposes an experimental approach to dissect lncRNAs activity based on these classifications.

Long Noncoding RNA and Cancer: A New Paradigm.

TL;DR: The emerging functions and association of lncRNAs in different types of cancer and their potential implications in cancer diagnosis and therapy are reviewed.

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

TL;DR: Long intergenic non-coding RNA 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.

Long non-coding RNAs: insights into functions

TL;DR: The rapidly advancing field of long ncRNAs is reviewed, describing their conservation, their organization in the genome and their roles in gene regulation, and the medical implications.

Chromatin signature reveals over a thousand highly conserved large non-coding RNAs in mammals

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that specific lincRNAs are transcriptionally regulated by key transcription factors in these processes such as p53, NFκB, Sox2, Oct4 (also known as Pou5f1) and Nanog, defining a unique collection of functional linc RNAs that are highly conserved and implicated in diverse biological processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Integrative annotation of human large intergenic noncoding RNAs reveals global properties and specific subclasses

TL;DR: It is found that lincRNA expression is strikingly tissue-specific compared with coding genes, and that l incRNAs are typically coexpressed with their neighboring genes, albeit to an extent similar to that of pairs of neighboring protein-coding genes.

RNA Maps Reveal New RNA Classes and a Possible Function for Pervasive Transcription

TL;DR: Three potentially functional classes of RNAs have been identified, two of which are syntenically conserved and correlate with the expression state of protein-coding genes and support a highly interleaved organization of the human transcriptome.
