RNAspace

RNAspace performs integrated prediction, annotation, and analysis of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) genes in genome sequencing projects.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive ncRNA gene finders: Incorporates a variety of complementary tools for ncRNA gene discovery, enabling identification of tRNAs, rRNAs, and hundreds of other RNA families.
• Tool integration: Integrates multiple ncRNA prediction tools to produce combined annotations.
• Comparison, visualization, and editing: Provides tools for comparison and visualization of predicted ncRNAs and for editing putative ncRNA sequences.
• Export formats: Supports exporting annotated ncRNAs in various formats for downstream analyses.
• Customizable filtering: Enables filtering of predictions based on a wide array of characteristics.

Scientific Applications:

• ncRNA gene annotation: Annotation and analysis of non-coding RNA genes identified in genome sequencing projects.
• Genomic projects (bacterial and small eukaryotic chromosomes): Applicable to bacterial genomes and small eukaryotic chromosomes, accepting sequences up to 5 Mb.

Methodology:

Incorporation of multiple complementary ncRNA gene finders, integrated execution of prediction tools, comparison/visualization and editing of predicted ncRNAs, customizable filtering of predictions, and export of annotated ncRNAs.
