Abstract:
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) constitute a large fraction of the transcriptome in mammals, and recent studies have revealed important functions of lncRNAs in a variety of biological processes. However, the fraction of lncRNAs that have been functionally validated is small, and only sequence and expression information are available for most lncRNAs. Here, we describe the procedures for UV-phenol aqueous-phase RNA sequencing (UPA-seq), a method for searching for functional lncRNA candidates among whole genomes based on the assumption that functional lncRNAs exert their functions through associations with proteins.
