Since lncRNAs are RNA transcripts with more than 200 nucleotides that do not encode proteins, they are functional units themselves. It has been demonstrated that they participate in a variety of biological processes. One particular long noncoding RNA, known as HOXA transcript at the distal tip (HOTTIP), is encoded from a genomic region in the 5′ tip of the HOXA locus. It has been linked to the development and spread of human c...
