Systematic and computational identification of Androctonus crassicauda long non-coding RNAs.

ABSTRACT: The potential function of long non-coding RNAs in regulating neighbor protein-coding genes has attracted scientists' attention. Despite the important role of lncRNAs in biological processes, a limited number of studies focus on non-model animal lncRNAs. In this study, we used a stringent step-by-step filtering pipeline and machine learning-based tools to identify the specific Androctonus crassicauda lncRNAs and analyze the features of predicted scorpion lncRNAs. 13,401 lncRNAs were detected using pipeline in A. crassicauda transcriptome. The blast results indicated that the majority of these lncRNAs sequences (12,642) have no identifiable orthologs even in closely related species and those considered as novel lncRNAs. Compared to lncRNA prediction tools indicated that our pipeline is a hel
