We searched reviews [1,2] and carried out keyword searches of PubMed [69], and NCBI LocusLink [70] for pairs of mammalian mRNA species known to share regions of overlap. This list does not include any of the 80 or so recently described examples of overlapping annotated mRNAs [14] ('cis-NATs') that were not observed elsewhere in the literature. A summary of these can be found in the 'cis-NATs' section of the authors' website [71].
