Figure 3. Basic properties of lincRNA.

Figure 3

(A) LincRNA transcript length distribution. The average length is about 1 kb and is marked by red dot line on the Figure. (B) Number of exons for lincRNA transcripts. As marked by a red dot line on the Figure, on average there are 2.2 exons per transcript. (C) LincRNA expression levels compared to protein-coding genes. The overall expression level for lincRNAs is much lower than that of protein coding genes. (D) LincRNA sequence conservation measured by phastCons scores. LincRNAs show intermediate sequence conservation as compared to intergenic control regions and protein coding genes.
