IGS38, a lncRNA from the human rDNA intergenic spacer, regulates rRNA transcription by altering rDNA chromatin organisation and activating the transcription machinery

Kanwal Tariq, Mareike Polenkowski, Jaclyn E. Quin…·Ann‐Kristin Östlund Farrants

This paper identifies IGS38, a lncRNA that enhances rRNA transcription by altering chromatin structure and promoting RNA polymerase I promoter escape.
