Name	Definition
Processed transcript	Non-coding transcript that does not contain an ORF
Retained intron	Non-coding transcript containing intronic sequence
LincRNA	Large intergenic non-coding RNA, or long non-coding RNA, usually associated with open chromatin signatures such as histone modification sites
Antisense	Non-coding transcript believed to be an antisense product used in the regulation of the gene to which it belongs
Sense overlapping	Has a long non-coding transcript that contains a coding gene in its intron on the same strand
Processed pseudogene	Non-coding pseudogene produced by integration of a reverse transcribed mRNA into the genome
