Targeted disruption of hotair leads to homeotic transformation and gene derepression.
Published: October, 2013

Abstract: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are thought to be prevalent regulators of gene expression, but the consequences of lncRNA inactivation in vivo are mostly unknown. Here, we show that targeted deletion of mouse Hotair lncRNA leads to derepression of h...
