Abstract

 

Non?coding RNA (ncRNA) genes produce a functional RNA product, rather than a translated protein. The range and importance of such genes is only recently apparent, with known ncRNAs participating in a wide range of structural, regulatory, and catalytic roles within the cell. Like protein?coding genes, multiple sequence alignments of families of ncRNAs tell us much about their structure and function, and enable the formulation of statistical models for the detection of related sequences. Rfam is a database of families of ncRNAs, represented by structure?annotated multiple sequence alignments and covariance models.

Keywords: non?coding RNA; multiple sequence alignment; genome annotation

Figures

  •   Figure 12.5.1 A typical Rfam sequence search results page. The table in the upper part of the figure summarizes the hits, locations, and scores; the alignments of each subsequence to the model are shown in the lower part of the figure. The first sequence line shows the simplified consensus sequence represented by the model as generated by the search software, with the bottom line showing the subsequence match of the query. The central line shows bases conserved between the model consensus and the query, with the base‐paired secondary structure depicted as nested parentheses above (see Appendix for more information).
