Abstract
Noncoding RNAs redefined the understanding of gene regulation. One of the groups of these molecules is the long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs, > 200nt) that represent important agents in gene regulation. The INXS is one of these lncRNAs that participates in the regulation of the alternative splicing of exon 2 from BCL-X mRNA, a gene from the Bcl-2 family. INXS converts the anti-apoptotic isofor…
