Candidate long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) identified using a combination of four tools: CNCI (Coding-Non-Coding Index), CPC (Coding Potential Calculator), Pfam (Protein families database, used for excluding protein-coding genes), and Plek (a tool for predicting long non-coding RNAs and messenger RNAs based on k-mer content and other features).
