Classification of noncoding RNAs. Noncoding RNAs are divided into housekeeping RNAs and regulatory noncoding RNAs. Housekeeping RNAs include rRNAs, tRNAs, snoRNAs, and snRNAs. tRNAs and snoRNAs can be further processed into tRFs and sdRNAs, respectively. Regulatory RNAs are divided into sncRNAs and lncRNAs. sncRNAs include miRNAs, siRNAs, and piRNAs. Furthermore, circRNAs can be categorized as either sncRNAs or lncRNAs based on their size.
