Overview

The Rfam database aims to catalogue non-coding RNAs through the use of sequence alignments and statistical profile models known as covariance models. In this contribution, authors discuss the pros and cons of using the online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, as a source of community-derived annotation. Authors discuss the addition of groupings of related RNA families into clans and new developments to the website. Rfam is available on the Web at http://rfam.sanger.ac.uk.
