Genetic tools to dissect functions of long noncoding RNAs.

Abstract excerpt

LncRNAs represent an abundant group of noncoding transcripts, some of which carry out important regulatory functions. To survey the biological and molecular roles of lncRNAs, reliable strategies for their genetic inactivation are required. Several lncRNA features make them challenging to target by genome editing. First, lncRNA loci often span large genomic distances. As such, full or partial deletion alleles are...
