##################
Fasta RNA dumps
#################

These files hold the transcript sequences corresponding to non-coding
RNA genes (ncRNA).

------------
FILE NAMES
------------
The files are consistently named following this pattern:
<species>.<assembly>.<sequence type>.fa.gz

<species>: The systematic name of the species.
<assembly>: The assembly build name.
<sequence type>: ncrna for non-coding RNA sequences

EXAMPLES
  for Human:
    Homo_sapiens.NCBI36.ncrna.fa.gz
      Transcript sequences for all ncRNA gene types.

-------------------------------
FASTA Sequence Header Lines
------------------------------
The FASTA sequence header lines are designed to be consistent across
all types of Ensembl FASTA sequences.

Stable IDs for genes and transcripts are suffixed with
a version if they have been generated by Ensembl (this is typical for
vertebrate species, but not for non-vertebrates).

General format:

>TRANSCRIPT_ID SEQTYPE LOCATION GENE_ID GENE_BIOTYPE TRANSCRIPT_BIOTYPE

Example of an Ensembl ncRNA header:

>ENST00000347977.1 ncrna chromosome:NCBI35:1:217347790:217347874:-1 gene:ENSG00000195671.1 gene_biotype:miRNA transcript_biotype:miRNA
