Emerging properties and functional consequences of noncoding transcription

R Ard, RC Allshire, S Marquardt - Genetics, 2017 - academic.oup.com
Eukaryotic genomes are rich in transcription units encoding “long noncoding
RNAs”(lncRNAs). The purpose of all this transcription is unclear since most lncRNAs are …

Noncoding RNA surveillance: the ends justify the means

C Belair, S Sim, SL Wolin - Chemical reviews, 2017 - ACS Publications
Numerous surveillance pathways sculpt eukaryotic transcriptomes by degrading unneeded,
defective, and potentially harmful noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). Because aberrant and excess …

Wide-ranging and unexpected consequences of altered Pol II catalytic activity in vivo

I Malik, C Qiu, T Snavely, CD Kaplan - Nucleic Acids Research, 2017 - academic.oup.com
