ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Rfam

Rfam is like a big book with lots and lots of stories. But instead of stories, it has something called RNA, which is a special type of molecule that helps cells do important things.

In this big book called Rfam, scientists have written down a bunch of different RNA stories, and they give them really funny names like "tRNA" and "miRNA". Each of these RNA stories has a special job it does inside a cell.

By reading through the stories in Rfam, scientists can learn a lot about how cells work and how they are different from one another. They can also use this information to try and find ways to help people who are sick or who have problems with their cells.

So, think of Rfam like a really important book that teaches scientists all about these tiny molecules that are so important for life!
