Systematic identification and characterization of cardiac long intergenic noncoding RNAs in zebrafish

Abstract Long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) are increasingly recognized as potential key regulators of heart development and related diseases, but their identities and functions remain elusive. In this study, we sought to identify and characterize the cardiac lincRNA transcriptome in the expe...
