Official symbol	Also known as	Genomic location	Cell specific	Function
Six3os1	Rncr1; Six3os; D17Mgi26; E130112H22Rik	17 E4	Retinal progenitors	Six3os1 was the first identified lncRNA that coeffect with its coding gene to play an important role in retinal development
MIAT	RNCR2; GOMAFU; C22orf35; LINC00066; NCRNA00066; lncRNA-MIAT	22q12.1	Progenitors and retinal precursor cells	MIAT plays a critical role in regulating mammalian retinal cell fate specification
BB283400	Rncr4; BF465573	Chromosome 6	Retina	BB283400 was a retina-specific lncRNA that controls the uniformity of various retina layers
TUG1	TI-227H; LINC00080; NCRNA00080	22q12.2	Rod photoreceptors	TUG1 is necessary for the proper formation of photoreceptors in the developing rodent retina
