Comment TYPE is a term taken from the INSDC controlled vocabulary for ncRNA classes (http://www.insdc.org/page.php?page=rna_vocab); on 15-Oct-2008, the following terms were valid: "antisense_RNA" "autocatalytically_spliced_intron" "ribozyme" "hammerhead_ribozyme" "RNase_P_RNA" "RNase_MRP_RNA" "telomerase_RNA" "guide_RNA" "rasiRNA" "scRNA" "siRNA" "miRNA" "piRNA" "snoRNA" "snRNA" "SRP_RNA" "vault_RNA" "Y_RNA" "other" ncRNA classes not yet in the INSDC /ncRNA_class controlled vocabulary can be annotated by entering '/ncRNA_class="other"' with '/note="[brief explanation of novel ncRNA_class]"';
