Detection of long non–coding RNA homology, a comparative study on alignment and alignment–free metrics

Abstract Background Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) represent a novel class of non-coding RNAs having a crucial role in many biological processes. The identification of long non-coding homologs among different species is essential to investigate such roles in model organisms as homologous genes tend...
