Highlights

  • Long non-coding RNAs are a group of RNA transcripts that exceed 200 nt in length, yet lack significant open reading frames (ORFs) [1,2,3,4]

  • Accumulating evidence supports that Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in many physiological processes by modulating gene expression at the epigenetic, transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels

  • LncRNAs depends on the relative position and sequence features of the lncRNA and the target gene to regulate gene expression

Summary

Introduction

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a group of RNA transcripts that exceed 200 nt in length, yet lack significant open reading frames (ORFs) [1,2,3,4]. Accumulating evidence supports that lncRNAs participate in many physiological processes by modulating gene expression at the epigenetic, transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. LncRNAs regulate gene expression at the epigenetic level through DNA methylation or demethyl-
