Estimating the Fraction of Non-Coding RNAs in Mammalian Transcriptomes

Recent studies of mammalian transcriptomes have identified numerous RNA transcripts that do not code for proteins; their identity, however, is largely unknown. Here we explore an approach based on sequence randomness patterns to discern different RNA classes. The relative z -score we use helps ident...
