Abstract
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 (smORFs) and encode functional peptides and thus may be more properly classified as coding RNAs. lincRNAs may broadly serve to fine-tune the expression of neighbouring genes with remarkable tissue specificity through a diversity of mechanisms, highlighting our rapidly evolving understanding of the non-coding genome.

Characterizing hydrogen bonds in intact RNA from MS2 bacteriophage using magic angle spinning NMR

TL;DR: This work shows that proton-driven spin-diffusion experiments with long mixing times, improved by the incorporation of multiple rotor-synchronous 1H inversion pulses, reveal key hydrogen-bond contacts that can be characterized in intact large-scale RNA using solid-state NMR.

An integrated transcriptome mapping the regulatory network of coding and long non-coding RNAs provides a genomics resource in chickpea

TL;DR: In this paper , a comprehensive transcriptome analysis was performed to generate full-length transcriptome and expression atlas of protein-coding genes (PCGs) and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) from 32 different tissues/organs via deep sequencing.

The role of lincRNA-p21 in regulating the biology of cancer cells

TL;DR: In this review, a summary of the diverse regulatory functions of lincRNA-p21 has been reported, which have been reported to function as a protein decoy, act as a competitive endogenous RNA, regulate the transcription, regulated the translation processes and exist in the secreted exosomes.

Intergenic lnc-LEP-2:6 and lnc-LEP-2:7 as novel biomarkers associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

TL;DR: The authors identified molecules involved in the development of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using the expression patterns of T2DM gene expression patterns, and found that the expression pattern of the genes involved in this process can be used to identify the type 2DM type.

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.

Landscape of transcription in human cells

Sarah Djebali, +87 more
- 06 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: Evidence that three-quarters of the human genome is capable of being transcribed is reported, as well as observations about the range and levels of expression, localization, processing fates, regulatory regions and modifications of almost all currently annotated and thousands of previously unannotated RNAs that prompt a redefinition of the concept of a gene.

Core transcriptional regulatory circuitry in human embryonic stem cells.

TL;DR: Insight is provided into the transcriptional regulation of stem cells and how OCT4, SOX2, and NANOG contribute to pluripotency and self-renewal and how they collaborate to form regulatory circuitry consisting of autoregulatory and feedforward loops.
