Also known as cis-NATs or cis effector asRNAs
|
Also known as trans-NATs or trans effector asRNAs
|
Transcribed from the opposing DNA strand of the target gene at the same genomic locus
|
Transcribed from a separate locus to the target gene
|
Display perfect or extensive sequence complementarity with the target gene
|
Display imperfect or short stretches of complementarity with the target gene
|
Target individual mRNAs
|
Target multiple sense targets and form complex regulation networks
|
Mostly short
|
Frequently longer: several hundred nt, in some examples several kb long
