Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a fascinating, but still largely uncharacterized, class of genes. A recent paper by the Mendell group identifies NORAD, a novel lncRNA that is regulated in response to DNA damage and plays a key role in maintaining genome integrity by modulating the activity the RNA binding proteins PUM2 and PUM1.
Keywords: CIN; NORAD; PUM1; PUM2; genomic stability; lncRNA.
