Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) correspond to a eukaryotic noncoding RNA class that gained great attention in the past years as a higher layer of regulation for gene expression in cells. There is, however, a lack of specific computational approaches to reliably predict lncRNA in plants, which contrast the variety of prediction tools available for mammalian lncRNAs. This distinction is not that obvious, given that biological features and mechanisms generating lncRNAs in the cell are likely different between animals and plants. Considering this, we present a machine learning analysis and a classifier approach called RNAplonc (https://github.com/TatianneNegri/RNAplonc/) to identify lncRNAs in plants.
