ncPlantDB

ncPlantDB integrates non-coding RNA (ncRNA) and ncRNA-encoded peptide (ncPEP) data across 43 plant species, providing translational potential data and cell-specific interaction networks for investigating plant ncRNA functions, interactions, and coding capacity.

Key Features:

• ncRNA and ncPEP Integration: The database encompasses 353,140 ncRNAs, 3,799 ncPEPs, and 4,647,071 interactions sourced from established databases and literature mining.
• Translational Potential Data: The database provides data on the translational potential of ncRNAs, indicating their capacity to encode peptides.
• Cell-Specific Interaction Networks: The database offers interaction networks derived from single-cell RNA sequencing and Ribo-seq analyses.
• Single-Cell Expression Exploration: The database enables exploration of ncRNA expression patterns at the single-cell level for discovering tissue-specific ncRNAs and potential ncPEPs.

Scientific Applications:

• Plant ncRNA Function Investigation: Researchers can investigate plant ncRNA functions, interactions, and their potential coding capacity through integrated diverse data types.
• Tissue-Specific ncRNA Discovery: The database facilitates discovery of tissue-specific ncRNAs and potential ncPEPs through single-cell level expression pattern exploration.
• Regulatory Network Analysis: The database supports exploration of complex regulatory networks in plant genomics through cell-specific interaction data.

Methodology:

Data were sourced from established databases and literature mining; cell-specific interaction networks were derived from single-cell RNA sequencing and Ribo-seq analyses.
