TL;DR: Online implementations of tRNAscan-SE, snoscan and snoGPS are described that make these RNA detection tools accessible to a wider range of research biologists.

TL;DR: The overall architecture of the Bioperl toolkit is described, the problem domains that it addresses, and specific examples of how the toolkit can be used to solve common life-sciences problems are given.

TL;DR: Results are reviewed that show that transcription of non-protein-coding RNA is far more widespread than was previously anticipated and may be evidence of important new biochemical pathways or are merely 'junk' RNA generated by the cell as a by-product of its functional activities.

TL;DR: 41 of the 44 known pseudouridine modifications in S.cerevisiae rRNA have been linked with a verified snoRNA, providing the most complete accounting of the H/ACA snoRNAs that guide pseudouridylation in any species.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that genomic regions rich in non-protein-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) can be identified using local variations in single-base and dinucleotide statistics has been investigated and 19 candidate ncRNAs were identified including one with significant homology to several known archaeal RNaseP RNAs.
