Systematic evaluation of C. elegans lincRNAs with CRISPR knockout mutants

Abstract Background Long intergenic RNAs (lincRNAs) play critical roles in eukaryotic cells, but systematic analyses of the lincRNAs of an animal for phenotypes are lacking. We generate CRISPR knockout strains for Caenorhabditis elegans lincRNAs and evaluate their phenotypes. Results C. elegans linc...
