CoNCRAtlas

CoNCRAtlas provides a high-confidence catalog of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) in Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense to support transcriptome-based functional and evolutionary studies.

Key Features:

• High-confidence lncRNA and miRNA collection: A curated set of lncRNAs and miRNAs identified from large-scale RNA sequencing and small RNA sequencing datasets.
• Data sources: Derived explicitly from RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and small RNA sequencing (small RNA-seq) datasets.
• Expression patterns: Extensive expression pattern data obtained from transcriptome analyses across thousands of samples.
• Multi-omics annotations: Integration of multi-omics annotations to enrich functional context.
• Contextual cataloging: Systematic identification and annotation across tissues, developmental stages, and biological conditions.
• Species focus: Specific coverage of Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense.

Scientific Applications:

• Evolutionary studies: Enable comparative and evolutionary analyses of ncRNAs between cotton species.
• Functional characterization: Support functional studies of lncRNAs and miRNAs via expression patterns across tissues and conditions.
• Breeding and trait research: Inform breeding-program–relevant investigations by linking ncRNA expression to developmental stages and biological contexts.

Methodology:

lncRNAs and miRNAs were identified from large-scale RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and small RNA sequencing (small RNA-seq) datasets, with expression profiles obtained from transcriptome analyses across thousands of samples and annotations integrated from multi-omics data.
