Features of lncRNA gene structure. (A) Number of exons per transcripts for all lncRNA transcripts (light blue), lncRNAs having CAGE or PET supports for either their 5′ or 3′ ends (blue), lncRNAs having PET tags mapping to both ends of the transcript (dark blue), and protein-coding transcripts (red). (B) Exon (left) and intron (right) size distributions for lncRNA and mRNAs. (C) Processed transcript size distributions of lncRNAs (blue) and protein-coding (red). (D) Distribution of the number of alternative spliced forms per lncRNA (blue) and protein-coding (red) gene locus.
