Abstract Background Natural antisense transcripts NAT are a class of endogenous coding or nonprotein-coding RNAs with sequence complementarity to other transcripts. Several lines of evidence have shown that cis- and trans-NATs may participate in a broad range of gene regulatory events. Genome-wide identification of cis-NATs in human mouse and rice has revealed their widespread occurrence in eukaryotes. However little is known about cis-NATs in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Results We developed a new computational method to predict and identify cis-encoded NATs in Arabidopsis and found 1 340 potential NAT pairs. The expression of both sense and antisense transcripts of 957 NAT pairs was confirmed using Arabidopsis full-length cDNAs and public massively parallel signature sequencing
