The identification and characterization of lncRNAs involve several techniques. High-throughput sequencing technologies, such as RNA-seq, are commonly used to discover and quantify lncRNAs. Bioinformatics tools are then employed to annotate and predict the functions of these lncRNAs based on their sequence and structural features. Experimental approaches, such as chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), are used to identify lncRNA-protein interactions and understand their mechanisms of action.
