Abstract

BACKGROUND: Plant long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play vital roles in many biological processes mainly through interactions with RNA-binding protein (RBP). To understand the function of lncRNAs, a fundamental method is to identify which types of proteins interact with the lncRNAs. However, the models or rules of interactions are a major challenge when calculating and estimating the types of RBP.
