DANSR: A Tool for the Detection of Annotated and Novel Small RNAs
2022
Non-Coding RNA
To address this, we developed DANSR, a tool for the detection of annotated and novel small RNAs using sequencing reads with variable lengths (ranging from 17–200 nt). ...
Existing small noncoding RNA analysis tools are optimized for processing short sequencing reads (17–35 nucleotides) to monitor microRNA expression. ...
Benchmarking Using Contemporary State-of-the-Art Tools In order to assess DANSR's performance, we sought to benchmark against a wide array of existing small RNA discovery tools. ...

Short-read reading-frame predictors are not created equal: sequence error causes loss of signal
2012
BMC Bioinformatics
This improved detection of genes in error-containing fragments, however, comes at the cost of much lower (50%) specificity and overprediction of genes in noncoding regions. ...
Gene prediction is a ubiquitous step in sequence analysis pipelines; it reduces the volume of data by identifying the most likely reading frame for a fragment, permitting the out-of-frame translations ...
The frequency and impact of inaccurate gene calls are relatively low in noncoding DNA. ...
