We have recently shown that transcription initiation RNAs (tiRNAs) are derived from sequences immediately downstream of transcription start sites. Here, using cytoplasmic and nuclear small RNA high-throughput sequencing datasets, we report the identification of a second class of nuclear-specific similar to 17- to 18-nucleotide small RNAs whose 3' ends map precisely to the splice donor site of internal exons in animals. These splice-site RNAs (spliRNAs) are associated with highly expressed genes and show evidence of developmental stage-and region-specific expression. We also show that tiRNAs are localized to the nucleus, are enriched at chromatin marks associated with transcription initiation and possess a 3'-nucleotide bias. Additionally, we find that microRNA-offset RNAs (moRNAs), the miR-15/16 cluster previously linked to oncosuppression and most small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA)-derived small RNAs (sdRNAs) are enriched in the nucleus, whereas most miRNAs and two H/ACA sdRNAs are cytoplasmically enriched. We propose that nuclear-localized tiny RNAs are involved in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression.
