Genomic positional conservation identifies topological anchor point RNAs linked to developmental loci

Abstract Background The mammalian genome is transcribed into large numbers of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), but the definition of functional lncRNA groups has proven difficult, partly due to their low sequence conservation and lack of identified shared properties. Here we consider promoter conserva...
