On behalf of the RNAcentral Consortium, I am pleased to announce the first public release of RNAcentral, which contains more than 8.1 million sequences contributed by 10 Expert Databases and provides genome mapping for several major species.
A paper describing RNAcentral has been accepted for publication in the Database Issue of Nucleic Acids Research and will be made available later this year. In the meantime, please see the EBI press release to find more about RNAcentral and its goals.
RNAcentral 1.0 follows a beta release which was made public in June 2014. Here are the highlights of the new data that were added since then:
