LncRNAs controlling gene expression post-transcriptionally. Listed are the post-transcriptional processes affected by lncRNAs (column 1), the lncRNAs reported in each regulatory process (column 2), the target molecules (RNAs and proteins) through which the lncRNAs elicit a post-transcriptional influence (column 3), and additional details of the post-transcriptional consequences of lncRNA activity.
