Analysing non-coding RNA with RNAcentral and Rfam
Date: 11 - 12 September 2019
This workshop, organised in conjunction with the RNA Informatics conference, provides an overview of RNAcentral and Rfam, two databases for non-coding RNA analysis.
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are RNA molecules that are not translated into proteins and are found in every living organism. Many ncRNAs are responsible for important biological functions. For example, rRNA is a key component of the ribosome, and microRNAs regulate gene expression. Researchers from different fields of biology may need to find what is known about specific ncRNA or identify ncRNA in their data, but may not have the required expertise.

Target audience: The workshop is aimed at a general audience of biologists and bioinformaticians working with non-coding RNA who are interested in using RNAcentral and Rfam, or for users who would like to bring their projects and discuss them with the RNAcentral and Rfam teams. A basic familiarity with web browsing and an undergraduate level knowledge of molecular biology is recommended for this course. Familiarity with Unix/Linux command line is desirable for part of the course. We recommend these free tutorials: Basic introduction to the Unix environment: www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix Introduction and exercises for Linux: https://training.linuxfoundation.org/resources/free-courses/introduction...
