Abstract

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate diverse biological functions through mechanisms ascribed to the lncRNA transcript itself. Now in Cell Stem Cell, Yin et al. (2015) use CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing to demonstrate discrete and opposing roles for the lncRNA Haunt transcript and DNA at the HOXA locus during ESC differentiation.
