Abstract
Genome-wide analyses have identified approximately 16,000 human long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) genes representing approximately 27% of annotated human genes. LncRNAs tend to localize to cell nuclei implying roles in gene expression and/or nuclear organization. While the number of currently annotated lncRNA genes is close to the number of protein-coding genes we know relatively little in regard to the molecular mechanisms by which these RNA molecules exert their functions. I will discuss an interesting mouse (19qA) and human (11q13.1) genomic region that harbors 2 lncRNA genes, Neat1 and Malat1. Evidence will be presented for an architectural role of Neat1 in the establishment and maintenance of a nuclear domain called paraspeckles, and Malat1 in regulating gene expression and RNA splicing in breast cancer progression.
