Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to play important roles in the regulation of both transcription and chromatin organization. But, the promoters of lncRNA genes appear to be regulated differently than those of protein-coding genes. The LightSwitch Luciferase Assay System makes it fast & easy to study lncRNA promoter regulation using the same materials […]

Are LncRNAs the Future of Non-Invasive Prostate Cancer Testing?
Prostate cancer is the leading cause of mortality in North-American men and as a result many are forced to the clinic for some rather invasive biopsies, but thanks to some cool epigenetics involving lncRNAs, those once dreaded trips to the doctor’s office may soon be replaced a much less invasive urine test. Ranjan Perera and crew […]
lncRNAs Give a Shout Out to Imprinted Genes
For a while there, it didn’t seem like long non-coding RNAS (lncRNAs) had very much to say on the subject of genomic imprinting. But some new evidence shows that lncRNAs have found their voice, shouting loud and clear as a cross-talk conduit between imprinted regions. Researchers from Hebrew University (Jerusalem) introduced a new concept into […]
Webinar: Genetic Analysis of the Physiological Roles for lncRNAs in Development
Loyal A. Goff, Ph.D presents his research on: Genetic Analysis of the Physiological Roles for lncRNAs in Development Abstract: Many studies are uncovering functional roles for long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), yet few have been tested for in vivo relevance through genetic ablation in animal models. To investigate the functional relevance of lncRNAs in various physiological […]
The Rise of lncRNAs Timeline
Long non-coding RNAs, also known as lncRNAs, are gaining a truck load of momentum in the field of the epigenetics. Here we highlight the hottest research, methods papers, and the occasional interview centered around these long and curvy regulatory RNAs.
