Like protein-coding genes, long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) genes are composed of introns and exons. After their transcription, lncRNAs are subject to constitutive and/or alternative splicing. Here, we describe the current knowledge on lncRNA splice variants and their functional implications in cell biology.
与蛋白编码基因类似,长链非编码 RNA(lncRNA)基因也由内含子和外显子组成。lncRNA 在转录后,会经历组成性和/或选择性剪接。在这里,我们描述了 lncRNA 剪接变体的现有知识及其在细胞生物学中的功能意义。
