Computational approaches for the analysis of ncRNA through Deep Sequencing techniques

The majority of the human transcriptome is defined as non-coding RNA (ncRNA), since only a small fraction of human DNA encodes for proteins, as reported by the ENCODE project. Several distinct classes of ncRNAs, such as transfer RNA (tRNA), microRNA (miRNA), and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), have be...
