[ensembl-dev] Why are ncRNA separate from cDNA?

[Daniel Murphy]

Hi Charlie,

The cDNA file contains sequences from all transcripts resulting from 
known, novel and pseudo gene predictions, whereas the ncRNA file 
contains the transcript sequences corresponding to non-coding RNA genes. 
While the sets of transcripts are produced by different pipelines, 
providing the sets as separate files makes sense as some users are more 
interested in only having noncoding sets over coding, for example.
