Database classification	RNA sequence databases
Database description	fRNAdb is a novel database service that hosts a large collection of non-coding transcripts including annotated/non-annotated sequences from the H-inv database, NONCODE and RNAdb. A set of computational analyses have been performed on the included sequences. These analyses include RNA secondary structure motif discovery, EST support evaluation, cis-regulatory element search, protein homology search, etc.
Features and manner of utilization of database	fRNAdb provides an efficient interface to help users filter out particular transcripts under their own criteria to sort out functional RNA candidates.
