Identification of 11 candidate structured noncoding RNA motifs in humans by comparative genomics

Abstract Background Only 1.5% of the human genome encodes proteins, while large part of the remaining encodes noncoding RNAs (ncRNA). Many ncRNAs form structures and perform many important functions. Accurately identifying structured ncRNAs in the human genome and discovering their biological functi...
