Full length long ncRNAs aren't in Rfam. You're better off using another database for those eg. NRED, ENSEMBL or HGNC. The covariance models Rfam uses can't handle long or spliced sequences. Also repeats such as Alus do bad things to the BLAST pre-filters.

There are a few elements in Rfam that are lncRNA "domains". Eg. H19_1, H19_2, H19_3, KCNQ1OT1_1, Xist_exon1, ...

Ideally these would be available from the website using the 'types' annotation (SEARCH -> Entry Type). However, a lncRNA type hasn't been added yet. Perhaps in the next release.

What do you mean by 'solved' and 'experimentally'?
