Stalking Structure in Plant Long Noncoding RNAs

Plant Long Non-Coding RNAs

Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology ((MIMB,volume 1933))

Abstract

Long noncoding RNAs play important roles in plant epigenetic processes. While many extensive studies have delineated the range of their functions in plants, few detailed studies of the structure of plant long noncoding RNAs have been performed. Here, we review genome-wide and system-specific structural studies and describe methodology for structure determination.
