Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are detected by RNA-seq. Poly-A RNAs are commonly isolated for RNA-seq followed by mRNA analysis (left). Long non-coding RNAs are also polyadenylated and are, therefore, measured by many RNA-seq analyses (right). This provides researchers the opportunity to discover and assess the expression of lncRNAs from existing RNA-seq data.
