Among thousands of non-protein-coding RNAs which have been found in humans, a significant group represents snoRNA molecules that guide other types of RNAs to specific chemical modifications, cleavages, or proper folding. Yet, hundreds of mammalian snoRNAs have unknown function and are referred to as “orphan” molecules. In 2006, for the first time, it was shown that a particular orphan snoRNA (HBII-52) plays an important role in the regulation of alternative splicing of the serotonin receptor gene in humans and other mammals. In order to facilitate the investigation of possible involvement of snoRNAs in the regulation of pre-mRNA processing, we developed a new computational web resource, snoTARGET, which searches for possible guiding sites for snoRNAs among the entire set of human and rodent exonic and intronic sequences. Application of snoTARGET for finding possible guiding sites for a number of human and rodent orphan C/D-box snoRNAs showed that another subgroup of these molecules (HBII-85) have statistically elevated guiding preferences toward exons compared to introns. Moreover, these energetically favorable putative targets of HBII-85 snoRNAs are non-randomly associated with genes producing alternatively spliced mRNA isoforms.
