G·U base pairing motifs in long non-coding RNAs.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are recently-discovered transcripts involved in gene expression regulation and associated with diseases. Despite the unprecedented molecular complexity of these transcripts, recent studies of the secondary and tertiary structure of lncRNAs are starting to reveal the principles of lncRNA structural organization, with important functional implications. It therefore starts to be possible to analyze lncRNA structures systematically.
