TLDR
The function of lncRNAs in developmental processes, such as in dosage compensation, genomic imprinting, cell differentiation and organogenesis, with a particular emphasis on mammalian development are described.Abstract:
Genomes of multicellular organisms are characterized by the pervasive expression of different types of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Long ncRNAs (lncRNAs) belong to a novel heterogeneous class of ncRNAs that includes thousands of different species. lncRNAs have crucial roles in gene expression control during both developmental and differentiation processes, and the number of lncRNA species increases in genomes of developmentally complex organisms, which highlights the importance of RNA-based levels of control in the evolution of multicellular organisms. In this Review, we describe the function of lncRNAs in developmental processes, such as in dosage compensation, genomic imprinting, cell differentiation and organogenesis, with a particular emphasis on mammalian development.read more

TL;DR: The comparison of related genomes has emerged as a powerful lens for genome interpretation as mentioned in this paper, which reveals a small number of new coding exons, candidate stop codon readthrough events and over 10,000 regions of overlapping synonymous constraint within protein-coding exons.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that linc-MD1 exerts the same control over differentiation timing in human myoblasts, and that its levels are strongly reduced in Duchenne muscle cells, indicating that the ceRNA network plays an important role in muscle differentiation.

TL;DR: It is found that PTENP1 is biologically active as it can regulate cellular levels of PTEN and exert a growth-suppressive role, and this analysis extended to other cancer-related genes that possess pseudogenes, and revealed a non-coding function for mRNAs.
