Figure 1: LINC00305 is a potential atherosclerosis-associated lncRNA.

(A) Bioinformatic data mining pipeline for collecting and selecting atherosclerosis-associated SNPs25,26. (B) A list of the top rank atherosclerosis-associated SNPs in the polarization assay of A.(C) The genomic locus of LINC00305 and the surrounding regions (from NCBI). The LINC00305 gene is 69 kb in length and encodes an 869-bp RNA molecule comprising 4 exons. The locations of the 2 atherosclerosis-associated SNPs rs2850711 and rs2676671 within the first intron of LINC00305 are presented. (D) Coding Potential Assessment Tool (CPAT) analysis revealed the low protein-coding potential of LINC00305.
