Abstract

Phylogeny Ribonucleic acid RNA
The existence of phylogenetic covariation in base-pairing is strong evidence for functional elements of RNA structure, although available tools for identifying covariation are limited. R-scape is a recently developed program for prediction of covariation from sequence alignments, but it has limited utility on long RNAs, especially those of eukaryotic origin. Here we show that R-scape can be adapted for powerful prediction of covariation in long RNA molecules, including mammalian lncRNAs.
