From Sequence to Function: Bioinformatics Resources for Non-coding RNAs
Journal: RNA Biology
Non-coding RNAs are present in all cellular organisms and many viruses. They are integral to a vast array of biological processes, from the decoding of the genome to the arms race between host and pathogen. The classification of ncRNAs is based on size, primary sequence and secondary structure. In many cases, class is a strong predictor of function, making computational tools an important foundation for ncRNA resear…
