linc-20 and linc-9 do not have compensatory fertility roles in C. elegans.Long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) are transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides which are transcribed from regions that do not overlap with protein coding sequences.  Two of those lincRNA genes, linc-9 and linc-20, are highly homologous, suggesting they could perform redundant roles.  Here we report that in the double mutant linc-9; linc-20 the brood size and embryonic lethality do not significantly differ from wild-type worms.

linc-20 and linc-9 do not have compensatory fertility roles in C. elegans.Long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) are transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides which are transcribed from regions that do not overlap with protein coding sequences.  We previously reported engineering C. elegans strains in which we deleted lincRNA genes with high and dynamic expression in the gonad.
