title: A practical guide to the art of RNA gene prediction.
abstract: This review introduces the different strategies and computational methods that can be used in order to predict RNA genes. It discusses our current view of RNA genes as well as recent computational analyses of RNA genes and concludes with an outlook to future directions in algorithm development and data analyses.
