I'm not sure that non-canonical tRNA bases are modified forms of A,C,G,U (like a methylated A), as opposed to just other bases. Anyone know any chemistry?

Info from the gene article to be incorporated "RNA genes are much harder to locate in genome sequences than conventional genes are. Because cells do not translate them, they lack the distinctive ATG codon that heads all protein-coding sequences and guides bioinformatics searches (more at reading frame)."

sorry to nitpick, but i'm editing a biology paper for publication and was wondering whether its "noncoding" or "non-coding"? according to dictionary.com, noncoding is a word so it seems the former is the case. also, there exists "noncodingdna.com". if there are no objections, i or (someone else) will move this page to "noncoding RNA" in a few days.
