Abstract excerpt
The antisense transcript long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) (antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus, ANRIL) is an antisense of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2B (CDKN2B) gene on chromosome 9p21 that contains an overlapping 299-bp region and shares a bidirectional promoter with alternate open reading frame (ARF). In the context of gene regulation, ANRIL is responsible for directly recruiting polycomb group...
