Long non-coding RNAs
long non-coding rnas
Long non-coding RNAs are defined as any genes that produce transcripts of over 200 nucleotides in length which do not appear to be translated. Wherever possible, the HGNC names these genes based on a key function or characteristic of the encoded RNA. Where no other information is available at the time of naming, we assign a systematic nomenclature as shown in the gene subgroups below.
