Abstract

Accumulated evidence suggests that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAS) play a key role in most of the biological processes. By the advance of sequencing technology, more and more lncRNAs are identified. However, only a few has known functions. It is still a challenge to annotate the functions of lncRNAs for both bioinformaticians and biologists. In this chapter, we gave a comprehensive review of the current bioinformatics methods to identify lncRNAs and annotate their functions in mammals. The identification of lncRNAs was mainly based on the technologies of microarray and RNA-seq. While for the functional annotations of lncRNAs, a method based on the co-expression network of both coding and noncoding genes was illustrated. We also reviewed several ways to analyze the interactions between lncRNAs and targets such as miRNAs and protein-coding genes. An example of identifying and annotating human lncRNAs was given to illustrate the whole process.
