🎉New RNAcentral paper published in Nucleic Acids Research! Discover automated literature integration, new expert databases, gene-level entries grouping related transcripts, and more: doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkaf1329
We're excited to announce the first release of the #nfcore #rnastructurome pipeline! 🎉 nf-co.re/rnastructurome/1.0.…
This pipeline provides a standardised workflow for analysing public chemical probing datasets to generate RNA reactivity profiles and predict #RNA secondary structures.
We're hiring a 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿 to run, maintain and optimise pipelines behind @RfamDB and @RNAcentral, including development of LLMs, agent orchestration workflows, and more!
Apply by 28 June👇

1/9 🧵 Excited to share our latest paper: GOFlowLLM - Curating miRNA literature with Large Language Models and flowcharts.
Read the full paper here: doi.org/10.1093/bioinformati… or highlights below!
Major structural change: RNAcentral now groups related transcripts into gene-level entries! Using ML + graph clustering, we built 103,814 human ncRNA genes from 600,225 transcripts. Better reflects biology and enables comparative analyses.
All data freely available at rnacentral.org with API access, embeddable widgets, and full database dumps. Huge thanks to all @RNAcentral Consortium members for their contributions!
Explore the new features and let us know what you think!
We've just updated our RNAcentral Online Tutorial!
ebi.ac.uk/training/online/co…
This tutorial provides an overview of RNAcentral and covers different ways of accessing and using the data. It's aimed at anyone with an interest in non-coding RNAs.
As always, we welcome your feedback!
🎉 RNAcentral Release 26 is here! This release introduces a significant structural change: gene-level entries for ncRNAs across 204 organisms.
For the first time, you can explore RNA data at the gene level, not just individual sequences. 🧵👇
Read more in our blog post: blog.rnacentral.org/2025/10/… or our recent preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2025.09.19.6…
As always, we welcome feedback! Please get in touch and help us make RNAcentral even better! rnacentral.org/contact

1/12 Excited to share our new paper in @OxfordJournals DATABASE on LitSumm - our system that uses large language models to automatically generate high-quality literature summaries for non-coding RNAs! 🧬📚
11/12 But overall, this shows that with careful prompting and checking, LLMs can help address the curation bottleneck in bioinformatics! 🎯
12/12 Big thanks to our co-authors @AntonIPetrov, @nanoNancy, @Alexbateman1, @blake_a_sweeney and others! Read the full paper here: doi.org/10.1093/database/baa… #bioinformatics #LLM #AI
