⇒ Predict

  • Step1: Users can click the “Sequence” module on the homepage to query whether DNA sequences of interest contain napRNA.
  • Step2: Select appropriate algorithms and seed values. Higher seed values yield more precise results, while lower values generate more matches (for details, refer to the blastn algorithm principle).
  • Step3: Select a reference genome, enter your sequence, and click “Submit”. BLAST results will be displayed in a new page.


⇒ Gene

  • Step1: Users can click the "Gene" module on the homepage to search napRNA by genes.
  • Step2: Select a clade of interest, then choose your target organism, and finally select the gene before clicking "Submit". Information about the napRNA of host gene in organsim will be displayed on a new page.
  • Step3: Click "Browser" to display the detail information about this napRNA. Click "Human ID" or “Mose ID” to jump to the detail page of its conserved napRNA in Homo sapiens or Mus musculus.


⇒ Relationships

  • Step1: Users can explore napRNA's relationships with RNA modifications or RBP-binding events through the RNA Modifications module or RBP-binding Events module.
  • Step2: Select your target organism, choose a napRNA type, and finally click "Submit".Click "napRNA ID" to display the detail information about this napRNA.
  • Step3: When using the RNA Modifications module, users can click the value of the "modID" column to jump to rmbase to view the details of the RNA modification site. When using the RBP-binding Events module, users can click the value of the "Accession" column to jump the corresponding database to view the details of this RBP.


⇒ napRNA in Human Diseases

  • Step1: Users can select the Diseases module within Relationships to view mutation information of napRNA across cancer types.
  • Step2: Select your napRNA type and cancer type of interest, then click Submit. The mutation map of the napRNA in cancer will be displayed on a new page.




Terminology


  • Table 1: Classification and definition of napRNAs
  • ClassificationDefinition
    sliRNAs (stable linear intron RNAs)linear napRNAs that overlap with entire intron regions, contain both 5′ and 3′ splice sites (5′-ss and 3′-ss), and are stably expressed in vivo
    snotrons (snoRNA-intron napRNAs)napRNAs whose one end corresponds to the 5’/3’-end position of an intronic snoRNA and the other end corresponds to the 3’/5’-end of an intron
    misRNAs (napRNAs embedded in miRNA spacer regions)linear napRNAs that map to the sequences of miRNA spacer regions, with each end coinciding with one end of the two mature miRNAs
    Pol3-napRNAsnapRNAs, transcribed by RNA polymerase III (pol III) and primarily processed from repetitive elements, that contain A/B box promoters and a 4U stretch at the 3’-end, and can fold into complex stem-loop structures
    H/ACA napRNAsH/ACA box snoRNAs identified from NAP-seq profiles, which reside within various known repetitive elements. Notably, H/ACA box napRNAs are significantly longer than their canonical counterparts, representing long napRNAs typically missed by conventional sRNA-seq
    C/D napRNAsC/D box snoRNAs identified from NAP-seq profiles, which reside within various known repetitive elements. Notably, C/D box napRNAs are significantly longer than their canonical counterparts, representing long napRNAs typically missed by conventional sRNA-seq
    polyA-pocket-ACA napRNAsH/ACA snoRNAs containing a poly(A) pocket
