A guide to RNA families

Not yet rated

Rfamis a database of RNA families that currently contains almost 4,000 families. Together with the Infernal software, Rfam is commonly used to annotate non-coding RNAs in newly sequenced genomes. In this webinar, we will give an overview of the data available in Rfam and give a live demo of annotating a genome with non-coding RNAs using Rfam and the Infernal software.

We will be joined by a guest speaker, Prof Sam Griffiths-Jones (University of Manchester), who founded Rfam in 2002 and is now responsible for miRBase, the microRNA registry. We will discuss the ongoing efforts to synchronise the microRNA families between Rfam and miRBase.

Who is this course for?

This webinar is suitable forany student or researcher in life scienceswho isinterested in learning about RNA families and the EMBL-EBI resourceRfam. No prior knowledge of bioinformatics is required, but an undergraduate level knowledge of biology would be useful.

Outcomes

By the end of the webinar you will be able to:

  • Navigate the Rfam website and access RNA family information
  • Annotate genomes with non-coding RNA families using Rfam and Infernal
