Pipeline steps and flowcharts of the whole procedure applied to lincRNAs. (a) The pipeline steps are explained and the two main parts of the procedure are highlighted: (1) the prediction and encoding of the lincRNA Secondary Structure Description (SSD) (blue part) and (2) the effective search engine for groups of matches (i.e., chains) common to the reference and target RNAs (green part). (b) The flowcharts of the experimental procedure is presented: given as input the reference lincRNA (HOTAIR or ANRIL or COLDAIR) and the target list composed of HOTAIR, ANRIL, and COLDAIR, the pipeline returns as output the potential structural motifs shared between reference and target. Legend: circles represent the software tools: the orange ones refer to two online available tools (i.e., RNALfold for prediction and Structator for the matches searching), the green ones refer to our developed software; rectangles represent software input and output (I/O), colored with water blue and yellow for what concerns reference and target, respectively; pink rectangles represent the final results after matching reference in the target.
