Evolinc is a two-part pipeline to identify lincRNAs from an assembled transcriptome file (.gtf output from cufflinks) and then determine the extent to which those lincRNAs are conserved in the genome and transcriptome of other species.

The first part of the pipeline is the lincRNA identification. The second part is the comparative genomics and transcriptomics analysis. You feed the output from first part to second part. The pipelines were kept separate in case users did not want to perform an evolutionary analysis on the identified lincRNAs. The process is highly dependent on quality of the genomes, transcriptomes, and overall annotation datasets being used. Even a couple of SNPs could lead to a transcript being miss-identified as either a lincRNA or a protein-coding gene.
