Abstract: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have surpassed the number of protein-coding genes, yet the majority have no known function. We previously discovered >800 lncRNAs at regions identified by breast cancer genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Here, we performed a pooled CRISPR-Cas13d RNA knockdown screen to identify which of these lncRNAs altered cell proliferation. We found thatKILR,a lncRNA that functions as a tumor suppressor, safeguards breast cells against uncontrolled proliferation. The half-life ofKILRis… Show more
