Unique features of long non-coding RNA biogenesis and function

Key Points Although long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and mRNAs share many common features, several types of lncRNAs are distinguished from mRNAs by unique features of biogenesis, form and function. lncRNAs exhibit more highly specific expression patterns than mRNAs. Many lncRNAs undergo special proces...
