What Junk DNA? It’s an Operating System
The report adds to growing experimental support for the idea that all that extra stuff in the human genes, once referred to as “junk DNA,” is more than functionless, space-filling material that happens to make up nearly 98% of the genome. The paper adds to a growing body of knowledge ...Tags: Junk DNA, RNA, bioinformatics, sequencing, intron, granulocytes, splicing, gene expression

RNA Sequencing Helps Identify Functional Variants from GWAS
For Alzheimer’s and other complex disorders, mining the genome for disease-associated variants is no longer the obstacle. The challenge nowadays is figuring out how the identified loci relate to disease. As reported last month in Nature and its associated journals, advances in high-throughp...Tags: GWAS, RNA, Mining, Alzheimer

Barrnap: Bacterial ribosomal RNA predictor
Barrnap predicts the location of ribosomal RNA genes in genomes. It supports bacteria (5S,23S,16S), archaea (5S,5.8S,23S,16S), mitochondria (12S,16S) and eukaryotes (5S,5.8S,28S,18S). It takes FASTA DNA sequence as input, and write GFF3 as output. It uses the new NHMMER tool that comes with HMME...Tags: Bioinformatics, RNA, Barrnap, 5S, 23S, 16S

P_RNA_scaffolder: a fast and accurate genome scaffolder using paired-end RNA-sequencing reads
P_RNA_scaffolder is a novel scaffolding tool using Pair-end RNA-seq to scaffold genome fragments. The method is suitable for most genomes. The program could utilize Illumina Paired-end RNA-sequencing reads from target speciesies. Our method provides another practical alternative to existing mate-...Tags: P_RNA_scaffolder, fast, accurate, genome, scaffolder, paired-end, RNA, sequencing, reads, scaffold

iRNAD: a computational tool for identifying D modification sites in RNA sequence
iRNAD, for identifying D modification sites in RNA sequence. In this predictor, the RNA samples derived from five species were encoded by nucleotide chemical property and nucleotide density. Support vector machine was utilized to perform the classification. http://lin-group.cn/server/iRNAD...Tags: iRNAD, computational, tool, identifying, modification, sites, RNA, sequence
