Long non-coding RNAs (long ncRNAs,) are a type of RNA, generally defined as transcripts more than 200 nucleotides that are not translated into protein.

Long non-coding transcripts are found in many species.

LncRNAs are extensively reported to be involved in transcriptional regulation, and epigenetic regulation.

Long non coding RNA has been proven to be associated with multiple diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, rheumatic diseases, cancer etc.
