Using pan RNA-seq analysis to reveal the ubiquitous existence of 5' and 3' end small RNAs

Xiaofeng Xu, Haishuo Ji, Zhi Cheng, Xiufeng Jin, Xue Xin Yao, Yan‐qiang Liu, Qiang Zhao, Tao Zhang, Jishou Ruan, Wenjun Bu, Ze Chen, Shan Gao

This study uses pan RNA-seq to show the widespread presence of 5' and 3' end small RNAs, which can annotate mitochondrial and nuclear non-coding genes and identify new steady-state RNAs, challenging classical theories.
