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.

Defining the single base importance of human mRNAs and lncRNAs

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed Base Importance Calculator (BIC), an algorithm to calculate the importance score of single bases based on sequence information of human mRNAs and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs).

LncRNA ZNNT1 induces p53 degradation by interfering with the interaction between p53 and the SART3-USP15 complex

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors showed that the lncRNA ZNNT1 is required for the proliferation and tumorigenicity of colon cancer cells with wild-type p53.

Core Promoter Regions of Antisense and Long Intergenic Non-Coding RNAs

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors analyzed the RNA polymerase II (POL II) core promoters of the precursors of lncRNAs in Homo sapiens and Mus musculus genomes and found that the informational entropy at each position of the nucleotide text of the lncRNA core promoters is significantly higher than that of the mRNA core promoters.

Carbon ion irradiation suppresses angiogenic response in human lung adenocarcinoma cells mediated by LINC00167/miR-663a/TGF-β1 axis

TL;DR: In this article , the expression of the identified LINC00167 was verified by real-time quantitative PCR in different lung cancer cell lines and pulmonary bronchial epithelial cell lines, which indicated that LINC 00167/miR-663a/TGF-β1 axis is involved in the differential angiogenic response of lung adenocarcinoma cells exposed to X-ray or carbon ion irradiation, providing the molecular mechanisms underlying the suppressed angiogen response induced by carbon ion radiotherapy.

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.
