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.

Upregulation of PCED1B-AS1 in proliferative diabetic retinopathy and its involvement in retinal vascular endothelial cell proliferation

TL;DR: In this article , the diagnostic value of PCED1B-AS1 for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) was assessed and the involvement of the siRNA in PDR was investigated.

Prediction and screening of circRNA in triple-negative breast cancer.

TL;DR: In this paper , the expression profile and potential function of circular RNA (circRNA) and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) were investigated.
Peer Review

Genetic and environmental perturbations alter the rhythmic expression pattern of a circadian long non-coding RNA, Per2AS , in mouse liver [version 1; peer review: 1 approved]

TL;DR: The authors clearly demonstrated that Per2AS expression and Per2 mRNA expression are independently controlled by unknown mechanisms that will be revealed in the near future.

LncRNA SNHG6 Upregulates KPNA5 to Overcome Gemcitabine Resistance in Pancreatic Cancer via Sponging miR-944

TL;DR: In this article , the authors found that LncRNA SNHG6 is drastically downregulated in GEM-resistant PANC-1 cells and is positively correlated with the survival of PC patients.

Functional evaluation of LTR-derived lncRNAs in porcine oocytes and zygotes with RNA-seq and small RNA-seq

TL;DR: This strategy allowed the identification of a large number of endogenous retrovirus-associated lncRNAs (ERV-lnc RNAs) and found that some of them were highly expressed in porcine zygotes, as compared to oocytes.

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.
