Meiotic long non-coding meiRNA accumulates as a dot at its genetic locus facilitated by Mmi1 and plays as a decoy to lure Mmi1

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play key roles in the formation of nuclear bodies. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, a lncRNA species termed meiRNA forms a nuclear dot structure at its own genetic locus, the sme2 locus, with its protein-binding partner Mei2. This dot structure, called M...
