Evolution of the Long Non-coding RNAs MALAT1 and MENβ/ε

  • Conference paper
Advances in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BSB 2010)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNBI,volume 6268))

Included in the following conference series:

Abstract

MALAT1 is one of the best-conserved long ncRNAs in mammals and shares several characteristics, among them nuclear retention and a non-standard processing of its 3’ end, with the longer, but less well conserved, adjacent MENβ RNA. We show that MALAT1 is conserved among gnathostomes (with the possible exception of birds), while MENβ likely originated in the mammalian stem lineage. Evolutionary conserved features of both transcripts are discussed, including RNA secondary structure motifs and short RNA processing products.
