Genome-wide identification and functional characterization of natural antisense transcripts in Salvia miltiorrhiza

Abstract Salvia miltiorrhiza is one of the most widely used traditional medicines. Natural antisense transcripts (NATs) are a class of long noncoding RNAs that can regulate gene expression. Here, we identified 812 NATs, including 168 cis-NATs and 644 trans-NATs from twelve root, flower, and leaf sam...

Natural antisense transcripts (NATs) are a class of long noncoding RNAs that can regulate gene expression.
