NCYPred: A Bidirectional LSTM Network With Attention for Y RNA and Short Non-Coding RNA Classification.

Short non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) are involved in multiple cellular processes and can be divided into dozens of classes. Among such classes, Y RNAs have been gaining attention, being essential factors for the initiation of DNA replication on vertebrates, as well as potential tumor biomarkers. Homologs have also been described in nematodes and insects, as well as related sequences in bacteria.
