Figure 1. Overview of five broad categories of lncRNAs.

Figure 1

A. Intergenic lncRNAs are transcribed form intergenic regions. B. Intronic lncRNAs are transcribed from introns of coding genes. C. Pseudogenes are the “relics” of genes that have lost their coding function because of mutations. D. Sense lncRNAs are transcribed from the sense strand of coding genes and overlaps with a protein-coding gene. E. Antisense lncRNAs are transbribed from the antisense strand of protein-coding genes.
