For example, lncRNA MALAT1 (metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1) has been shown to promote chromatin compaction and gene silencing, contributing to cancer progression in several ways, and MALAT1 has been found to interact with chromatin remodeling subunits such as BRG1, a component of the SWI/SNF complex. Here, MALAT1 is linked to cancer.
