FIGURE 3.

Examples of lncRNA stratification based on genomic context. (A) Flank10k (lncRNA gene maps within 10 kb of a known gene); (B) no overlap (lncRNA gene is >10 kb away from any known gene); and (C) overlap (lncRNA gene is encoded on the same strand of the genome as a known gene, and overlaps at least a part of that known gene). One representative UCSC Genome Browser snapshot for each category is shown. The lncRNA from our list is highlighted by the red arrow, which also indicates the direction of transcription of the lncRNA.
