Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) transcribed extensively from the genome have been proposed to be key regulators of diverse biological processes. However, little is known about the role of lncRNAs in regulation of the cell-cycle G1/S checkpoint following DNA damage, a key step in the maintenance of genomic fidelity. Here we show that growth-arrested DNA damage-inducible gene 7 (gadd7), a DNA damage-inducible lncRNA, regulates the G1/S checkpoint in response to UV irradiation. Interestingly, UV-ind ...[more]
