FIGURE 3.

The eight categories used by the HGNC to name lncRNA genes. For each category an example is given, along with a diagram that demonstrates, where applicable, how lncRNA genes within these categories are named relative to other genes. LncRNA genes are shown in pale orange, small RNAs are shown in green, and protein coding genes are shown in blue. Each category can be browsed from the HGNC gene group page “Long non‐coding RNAs” (https://www.genenames.org/data/genegroup/#!/group/788)
