StringTie enables improved reconstruction of a transcriptome from RNA-seq reads

TL;DR: StringTie, a computational method that applies a network flow algorithm originally developed in optimization theory, together with optional de novo assembly, to assemble these complex data sets into transcripts produces more complete and accurate reconstructions of genes and better estimates of expression levels.

Long non-coding RNA HOTAIR reprograms chromatin state to promote cancer metastasis

TL;DR: It is shown that lincRNAs in the HOX loci become systematically dysregulated during breast cancer progression, indicating that l incRNAs have active roles in modulating the cancer epigenome and may be important targets for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

Molecular Mechanisms of Long Noncoding RNAs

TL;DR: These archetypes of lncRNA function may be a useful framework to consider how lncRNAs acquire properties as biological signal transducers and hint at their possible origins in evolution.

Identification and analysis of functional elements in 1% of the human genome by the ENCODE pilot project

Ewan Birney, +320 more
- 14 Jun 2007 - 
TL;DR: Functional data from multiple, diverse experiments performed on a targeted 1% of the human genome as part of the pilot phase of the ENCODE Project are reported, providing convincing evidence that the genome is pervasively transcribed, such that the majority of its bases can be found in primary transcripts.

Functional Demarcation of Active and Silent Chromatin Domains in Human HOX Loci by Noncoding RNAs

TL;DR: The transcriptional landscape of the four human HOX loci is characterized at five base pair resolution in 11 anatomic sites and 231 HOX ncRNAs are identified that extend known transcribed regions by more than 30 kilobases, suggesting transcription of ncRNA may demarcate chromosomal domains of gene silencing at a distance.

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.

The Transcriptional Landscape of the Mammalian Genome

Piero Carninci, +197 more
- 02 Sep 2005 - 
TL;DR: Detailed polling of transcription start and termination sites and analysis of previously unidentified full-length complementary DNAs derived from the mouse genome provide a comprehensive platform for the comparative analysis of mammalian transcriptional regulation in differentiation and development.

The Transcriptional Landscape of the Yeast Genome Defined by RNA Sequencing

TL;DR: A quantitative sequencing-based method is developed for mapping transcribed regions, in which complementary DNA fragments are subjected to high-throughput sequencing and mapped to the genome, and it is demonstrated that most (74.5%) of the nonrepetitive sequence of the yeast genome is transcribed.
