Tumour mutations in long noncoding RNAs enhance cell fitness
2021-11-07
Abstract excerpt
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can act as tumour suppressors or oncogenes to repress/promote tumour cell proliferation via RNA-dependent mechanisms. Recently, genome sequencing has identified elevated densities of tumour somatic single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in lncRNA genes. However, this has been attributed to phenotypically-neutral “passenger” processes, and the existence of positively-selected fitness-alteri...
