GreeNC

GreeNC catalogs plant long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and provides comprehensive annotations and sequence conservation data across multiple plant species.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive annotations: Annotates over 495,000 plant lncRNAs across multiple species.
• Species coverage update: Expanded with 78 new species and updated data for 16 additional species.
• Sequence clustering: Implements sequence clustering techniques to analyze sequence conservation and gene family relationships among plant lncRNAs.
• Conservation data: Provides sequence conservation information to identify conserved elements across species.

Scientific Applications:

• Comparative genomics: Enables cross-species comparison of lncRNA sequences and conserved elements.
• Evolutionary studies: Supports investigation of lncRNA sequence conservation and gene family evolution in plants.
• Functional genomics: Facilitates studies of regulatory roles and functional annotation of plant lncRNAs.

Methodology:

Sequence clustering techniques were applied to cluster lncRNA sequences and derive sequence conservation and gene family relationships, and lncRNAs were annotated across the included plant species.
