Transposable elements are major contributors to the origin, diversification, and regulation of vertebrate long noncoding RNAs.

Advances in vertebrate genomics have uncovered thousands of loci encoding long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). While progress has been made in elucidating the regulatory functions of lncRNAs, little is known about their origins and evolution. Here we explore the contribution of transposable elements (TEs)...
