Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs)
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a varied class of transcribed RNA molecules that have a length of more than 200 nucleotides that have less than 100 amino acid molecules. IncRNAs are responsible for about 30,000 types of transcription in the human body and are regulators of gene expression with functions in developmental and cellular processes.
