Characterization of lincRNA genes. a Side by side comparison of lincRNA genes (n = 1060) with protein-coding genes (n = 9730). Boxplots of RNAPII ChIP-seq (αRNAPII N-terminus), RNA-seq and polysome fractionation datasets, and size distribution of protein-coding genes (median length 1782 bp) and lincRNA genes (median length 551 bp) are shown. b Correlation between transcription levels (RNAPII ChIP-seq) and RNA accumulation (RNA-seq). Sequence read counts are length normalized and shown in a scatter plot. R-square values were calculated by linear model fitting
