Specifically, RAG1/2 was shown to excise fragments from antibody gene regions which can then be reinserted at DNA breaks on heterologous chromosomes. These insertion events, observed in both murine primary B cells and human lymphoid malignancies, define a distinct pathway that contributes to oncogenic genomic alterations.\n "}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n Although the abstract does not explicitly mention or describe LINC00907, when considering its function in a broader genomic context one may hypothesize that noncoding RNAs such as LINC00907 could be of interest in future studies addressing genome stability.

However, based on the available information in this study, no direct function or mechanistic involvement of LINC00907 is reported.\n "}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n (1)."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Philipp C Rommel, Thiago Y Oliveira, Michel C Nussenzweig, et al.
