Small RNAs derived from structural non-coding RNAs

It has been shown in small RNA sequencing-based studies that some small RNA fragments are specifically processed from known structural non-coding RNAs, either through Dicer-dependent or Dicer-independent pathways. Although these small RNAs are often less abundant compared to microRNAs in normal mammalian tissues, they are always present in all sequenced libraries. In this paper, we use the ncPRO-seq pipeline, to describe different profiles of...
