Rfam is a database of RNA families that currently contains over 4,000 families. Together with the Infernal software, Rfam is commonly used to annotate non-coding RNAs in newly sequenced genomes.

In this webinar, we will give an overview of the data available in Rfam and give a live demo of annotating a genome with non-coding RNAs using Rfam and the Infernal software. We will also discuss recent efforts to synchronise Rfam and miRBase.
