In a paper in Cell Reports, Anindya Dutta, M.D., Ph.D., and colleagues detail the first structure-function study of a long non-coding RNA, or lncRNA, called MUNC lncRNA. Their findings point out the importance of experimentally determining the structure of an lncRNA through a chemical method—rather than computer modeling—to identify structural domains that turn out to have multiple different functions.
