Comparison of miRNA and lncRNA function. (A) microRNAs function post-transcriptionally through direct base-pair interactions with mRNA. (B) Due to their larger size, lncRNAs have greater functional diversity and can interact with RNA, DNA, and protein. lncRNAs are known to influence gene expression at both the transcriptional and post-transcriptional level.
