  • Noncoding regulatory RNAs - RNAs that are not translated into protein - include the small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), the small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), the XIST RNA that mediates mammalian X-chromosome silencing, microRNAs, riboswitches, and the RNA component of the enzyme telomerase.

  • Candidates were categorized as "high confidence" if they passed all of the above criteria, and in addition formed a hairpin with predicted Drosha and Dicer cut sites that were able to yield a mature miRNA sequence matching the actual miRNA sequence read, as well as not mapping to known snoRNAs or snRNAs.

  • We identified 117 rhesus monkey ncRNAs, including 80 small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), 29 other types of known RNAs (snRNAs, Y RNA, and others), and eight unclassified ncRNAs.

  • Candidates were categorized as "potential" if they had weak predicted processing sites in the hairpin, yet the hairpin showed a stable 5′ end (candidates representing snoRNAs and snRNAs that otherwise fulfilled the "high confidence" criteria were also categorized as "potential").
