About this workshop
Long non-coding RNAs are transcripts longer than about 200 nucleotides that do not make proteins, yet many help to regulate genes, development and disease. They are hard to study because they are often expressed at low levels, vary between tissues and can look like coding transcripts at first sight. This workshop shows how to find them in RNA-Seq data: assembling transcripts, filtering candidates by length and exon structure, and testing coding potential with more than one predictor so the calls are trustworthy. You then measure their expression, compare conditions, and use co-expression and genomic position to suggest which genes a lncRNA may influence. The outcome is a defensible list of candidate lncRNAs and a plan for validating them in the lab.
