AlnC

AlnC catalogs annotated long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) transcripts across angiosperms to support identification, annotation, and comparative analysis of plant lncRNAs.

Key Features:

• Extensive annotation: Contains 10,855,598 annotated lncRNA transcripts identified across 682 angiosperm species and 809 sample tissues.
• Short open reading frames (sORFs): Annotations include potential sORFs to enable investigation of peptides encoded within lncRNAs.
• Source data provenance: Annotations were derived from analysis of transcriptomic data from the 1000 Plant Genomes Project (1KP).
• Sequence similarity search: Provides sequence similarity searches via BLAST.

Scientific Applications:

• Functional genomics: Investigating roles of lncRNAs in gene regulation and expression across tissues and developmental stages in flowering plants.
• Comparative genomics: Enabling comparative studies across diverse angiosperm species to assess evolutionary conservation and divergence of lncRNAs.
• Transcriptomic studies: Identifying and characterizing novel lncRNAs from transcriptome datasets for targeted and genome-wide analyses.

Methodology:

Analysis of transcriptomic data from the 1000 Plant Genomes Project (1KP) to identify and annotate 10,855,598 lncRNA transcripts across 682 angiosperm species and 809 sample tissues, including annotation of potential short open reading frames (sORFs), with sequence similarity searches provided via BLAST.
