Structured Allen Mouse Brain Atlas riboprobes have RNA secondary structures predicted by , are expressed above background in the adult mouse brain and are mapped to the mouse genome (mm8). We subdivided structured probes into two genomic locations: (1) structured (long) noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) have no protein coding potential and the entire probe is intergenic or intronic, and (2) structured UTRs are probes overlapping a UTR exon annotated in UCSC or RefSeq gene tracks with an RNA structure prediction. Total numbers of expressed Allen Mouse Brain Atlas probes (structured and non-structured) are listed. Detailed information about probes and structures are contained in Additional file 1.
