Exploring the Alternative Splicing of Long Noncoding RNAs

Muhammad Riaz Khan et al. Trends Genet. 2021 Aug.

Abstract

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.

Keywords: alternative splicing; long noncoding RNA; splice variant.
