Epigenetic Regulation by Long Noncoding RNAs

Lee, Jeannie T.·2012·Science

Abstract

Long Noncoding RNAs: The past 5 years have uncovered thousands of long (>100 nucleotides) noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) outpacing our understanding of their functions and mechanisms in regulating the genome. Lee (p. 1435 ) reviews the known and suspected means by which these intriguing molecules control gene expression locally and at great distances, considers potential universal roles for lncRNAs, and warns that classifying these intriguing molecules may be quite challenging given their diversity. The very long noncoding RNA, Airn , silences the Igf2r (insulin-like growth factor 2 receptor) imprinted gene cluster in mammals. Latos et al. (p. 1469 ) show in mouse cells that, rather than recruiting enzymes that modify histones to repress the locus, it is the act of transcription of Airn (and not the Airn gene product) that results in the silencing.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
