Figure 1. Exponential discovery of lncRNAs with the adoption of transcriptome-wide gene expression technologies.

Graph indicates the total number of publications per year for select lncRNAs with known involvement in LUAD. With the advent of transcriptomic profiling, the pace of lncRNA discovery and papers characterizing their function has increased exponentially over the last decade. lncRNAs included are those described in Table 1.
