Grant Description

A great surprise in the wake of the Human Genome Project has been the discovery of vast numbers of RNAs that do not encode proteins.

Alongside 19,000 protein-coding genes, our genome contains at least 20,000 long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) genes, but recent estimates push that number to 100,000.

Extensive annotation efforts are presently discovering lncRNAs far faster than their functions can be elucidated, and thus only
