Periodic Reporting for period 1 - MULTI_FOLDS (Not one but many: adopting structural flexibility in the analysis of the evolution of lncRNAs.)

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are abundant in mammalian transcriptomes. However, it remains unclear how many of them are functional and how their functions are performed. LncRNAs seem to be poorly conserved at the sequence level, but some of them share conserved structural...
