Long non-protein-coding RNAs (lncRNAs)


Long non-protein-coding RNAs (lncRNAs)search for term

RNAs of little protein-coding potential, >200 nt in length, some of which can be >100 Kb. The 200 nt lower limit is an arbitrary figure based on a convenient practical cut-off in RNA purification protocols that excludes most known classes of small RNAs. (Mattik 2010)
