PINC

A powerful tool for identifying non-coding RNAs in plants by analysing k-mer frequency, cds-related features, sequence length and GC content to distinguish between the growing number of non-coding RNAs and coding RNAs in plants.

Features

• High precision (ensemble learning)
• Multiple high-performance base models
• Convenience of use
• Automated Forecasting
• Web Online

Get Start

There are multiple ways to run this tool, feel free to choose one of the following method.

Run PINC from Web Online (Fastest)

http://www.pncrna.com/

Run PINC from docker (Locally、Simply)

1. Download the PINC and Add the data file to the project directory.

git clone https://github.com/midisec/PINC
cd PINC
# upload the data file (example: data.fasta)

All input data must be in fasta format

2. Pull and build the environment image. (Time required)

sudo docker build -t pinc_images .

3. Create and Enter a new container.

sudo docker run -it pinc_images bash

4. Execute PINC for prediction

python pinc.py -f data.fasta

Run PINC from source code (Complex)

1. Installation Environment(Autogluon、kentUtils)

2. Clone project, install related dependencies

git clone https://github.com/midisec/PINC
cd PINC
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

3. Execute PINC for prediction

python pinc.py -f data.fasta

Usage

Command line version

Prediction

python pinc.py -f <data.fasta>

Website online version

Prediction

After this, you will get a task page address with the uuid.

After that you can also check the history of the task by the uuid, usually it will be saved for one month.
