Hi Kumar,

I've tried intersecting lincRNAs with a couple different tracks that 
contain miRNA data, and do get more than 1 result, but still not that 
many. I would suggest looking at the article you mention and see if 
there are some specific examples given and then l ook to see if we have 
any tracks that contain the lincRNA or the miRNA.

You can list LncRNAs using the table browser: 
http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables
1. Select genome/assembly
2. Group: Gene and gene prediction tracks
     Track: lincRNA RNA-Seq reads
     Table: (choose table corresponding to tissue of interest)
     Region: genome
     Output format: all friends from selected table
     (if you want to download the data, provide a file name)
3. "get output"


Please let us know if you have any additional questions: [email protected]
