Hovlinc (Genetics 🧬)

Hovlinc RNA is a self-cleaving ribozyme of about 168 nucleotides found in a very long noncoding RNA in humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas. The word "hovlinc" comes from "hominin vlincRNA-located" RNA. Hovlinc is only a fourth known case of a ribozyme in human. Self-cleavage activity of Hovlinc has been shown in human, chimpanzees and bonobos, but is absent in gorillas...
