MyoD upstream noncoding RNA (MUNC) initiates in the distal regulatory region (DRR) enhancer ofMYOD and is formally classified as an enhancer RNA (DRReRNA ). MUNC is required for optimal myogenic differentiation, induces specific myogenic transcripts intrans (MYOD ,MYOGENIN , andMYH3 ), and has a functional human homolog.
