currently incomplete (see below). Another reason is that some of the published transcripts are single exons, which up to now have not been annotated in GENCODE unless there is additional support, for example, polyA features, conservation, submitted sequence, or publications. We are addressing this weakness and re-examining single exons lincRNAs based on annotation from Jia et al. (2010) in collaboration with the Lipovich group, and the data will be incorporated into GENCODE 10.
