A prime example induced by viral infection is the co-transcription of the lncRNA BST2 Interferon Stimulated Positive Regulator (BISPR, lncBST2) and its proximal gene Bone Marrow Stromal Cell Antigen 2 (BST2, tetherin), which encodes a protein that prevents the detachment of enveloped virus particles from infected cells. The gene discussed is BST2; the disease is viral infectious disease.
