Summary
What is RNAcentral?
RNAcentral is a database of ncRNA sequences of all ncRNA types from all organisms. It provides a single entry point for accessing data from numerous specialised RNA databases.
RNAcentral provides six key functionalities:
- Viewing information about individual ncRNA sequences.
- Visualisation of related-transcripts associated to gene-level entries.
- Text search that enables exploration of ncRNA sequences from different sources.
- Sequence search for performing sequence similarity queries against a comprehensive set of ncRNA sequences.
- Visualisation of RNA 2D structures.
- FTP archive with downloadable files, including genome annotations in BED and GFF3 formats.
