Annotation of structured RNAs in pig

Genome version 10.2, Annotation version 1.03, Version date June 02 2014

The annotation was based on the pig genome version 10.2.

This release replaces the previous version released Dec 12 2013. The main difference between this and the previous version of the annotation, is that the snoStrip tool was used in a pre-release version in the previous annotation. ChangeLog.

Notes on the annotation

The annotation was the result of an in-house pipe-line and the prediction of novel miRNAs based on a small-RNA library. The RNA classes were found as follows: "cisreg", are cis-regulatory elements from Rfam. "miRNA" are miRNAs obtained by sequence homology from mirBase or from the mirDeep prediction of miRNAs. "rRNA" are ribosomal RNAs mainly found with RNAmmer. "snRNA" and "snoRNA" are small nuclear RNAs and small nucleolar RNAs from sequence and structure homology search. "tRNA" are merged results, but are mainly found with tRNA-scan. "other" are non-coding RNAs from Rfam that do not belong to one of the classes above. "conflicts" are conflicts of annotation.

De novo predictions are based on RNAz loci with a cutoff of p=0.9

The structured RNAs were curated by identification of pol-II and pol-III transcripts; by identification of host-genes for snoRNAs; by identification of high confident miRNAs in known clusters; by identification of a complete rRNA cluster; and by identification of close-lying protein coding genes for cis-regulatory elements.
