Abstract
, is a typical representative of this class of RNAs. Transcription factor genes are overrepresented among loci with exosome-sensitive antisense RNAs, suggesting a potential for widespread control of gene expression via this class of noncoding RNAs. Lastly, we assess the use of alternative promoters in Arabidopsis and compare the accuracy of existing TSS annotations.
