Conclusions of trans-NATs
• Identified 1320 putative trans-NAT pairs
• Trans-NATs tend to co-exist in the same tissue
• Transcripts from function classes with catalytic activity, signal transducer activity and transporter activities were slightly over-represented
• Cis- and trans- NATs could form complex regulatory networks
• Potential functions of trans-NATs include inducing gene silencing and regulate alternative splicing
