Transcript-level organisation
RNA sequences are viewable at the level of individual transcripts, or grouped together into gene-centric views. For individual transcripts, if several databases provide different sequences for the same RNA gene, all of these sequences will be available in RNAcentral under separate URS IDs. These can be visualised with the embedded genome browser on sequence report pages, as similar sequences will be mapped to the same genomic region.
Example
Figure 5 shows the details of the overlapping RNAcentral transcripts corresponding to the human miR-181b-1 microRNA. There are two alternative versions of the precursor sequence, three alternative 5-prime and two 3-prime mature sequences. These entries come from different databases and have different types of annotations.
Alternatively, the /genes/ view aggregates transcripts from the same gene and displays them along with key information about the gene such as length and location.
