Abstract:The evolution of brain complexity correlates with an increased expression of long, non-coding (lnc) RNAs in neural tissues. Although prominent examples illustrate the potential of lncRNAs to scaffold and target epigenetic regulators to chromatin loci, only few cases have been described to function during brain development. We present a first functional characterization of the lncRNA LINC01322, which we term RUS for 'RNA upstream of Slitrk3'. The RUS gene is well conserved in mammals by sequence and synteny nex… Show more
