Diagram of the biosynthesis and function of long-non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). lncRNAs are derived from genes, some containing introns and some containing exons. These lncRNAs then act as signaling (for gene activation), decoy (for gene suppression), or scaffold molecules to exert epigenetic modification.
