Systematic and computational identification of Androctonus crassicauda long non-coding RNAs

Abstract The potential function of long non-coding RNAs in regulating neighbor protein-coding genes has attracted scientists’ attention. Despite the important role of lncRNAs in biological processes, a limited number of studies focus on non-model animal lncRNAs. In this study, we used a stringent st...
