    EPB41L4A-AS1 long noncoding RNA acts in both cis- and trans-acting transcriptional regulation and controls nucleolar biology

    Alan Monziani, Juan Pablo Unfried ... Igor Ulitsky
    EPB41L4A-AS1, a highly expressed snoRNA host long noncoding RNA, has multiple functions, positive regulation in cis of the EPB41L4A gene and a trans-acting role in supporting proper nucleolar biology.
