Characteristics of PVT1 and Its Roles in Diseases

摘要

With the development of genome-wide sequencing technology, 195 types of functional, long non-coding RNAs(lnc RNAs) have been identified so far, and their cellular roles are gradually being revealed. Lnc RNAs have now become a hotspot in the field of life sciences. These small molecules exist in almost all higher eukaryotes and play very important regulatory roles in these organisms. This review briefly summarizes the recent progress in research on plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 gene(PVT1), an lnc RNA.
