# RNAcentral

![RNAcentral](https://rnacentral.org/static/img/expert-databases.png)

RNAcentral is a free, public resource that offers integrated access to a comprehensive and up-to-date set of non-coding RNA sequences provided by a collaborating group of [Expert Databases](https://rnacentral.org/expert-databases) representing a broad range of organisms and RNA types.

The development of RNAcentral is coordinated by [European Bioinformatics Institute](http://www.ebi.ac.uk/) and is supported by [Wellcome](https://wellcome.ac.uk/). Initial funding was provided by [BBSRC](https://bbsrc.ukri.org/).

## Disclaimer

This is an UNOFFICIAL release of the [RNAcentral](https://rnacentral.org) by The RNAcentral Consortium.

**The team releasing RNAcentral did not write this dataset card for this dataset so this dataset card has been written by the MultiMolecule team.**
