studies have suggested that anywhere from 40% to 90% of annotated lncRNAs are in fact translated, although there is disagreement about the correct method for analyzing ribosome profiling data. Additionally, it is thought that many of the peptides produced by lncRNAs may be highly unstable and without biological function.

Conservation

The sequences of most long non-coding transcripts are not conserved, which supports the idea that
