PLncDB V2.0

PLncDB V2.0 provides a comprehensive repository of plant long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), integrating sequences, annotations, expression and regulatory information to support comparative and functional studies.

Key Features:

• Extensive Data Collection: Contains over 1,246,372 lncRNAs derived from 13,834 RNA-Seq datasets across 80 plant species and integrates entries from EVLncRNAs and RNAcentral.
• Uniform Annotation Pipeline: Applies a standardized annotation pipeline to produce consistent lncRNA annotations across species and datasets.
• Visualization Tools: Includes JBrowse, eFP Browser, and EPexplorer for visualization of expression patterns and epigenetic signals.
• Functional Exploration: Provides information on potential targets and regulatory networks associated with lncRNAs to support functional inference.

Scientific Applications:

• Data Mining: Enables mining of large-scale lncRNA datasets to identify novel lncRNAs and survey known lncRNAs across species.
• Functional Genomics: Supports analysis of lncRNA expression patterns and predicted regulatory relationships to infer functional roles.
• Comparative Studies: Facilitates comparative analyses of lncRNA presence, expression and regulatory features among plant species.

Methodology:

Integration of lncRNA entries from EVLncRNAs and RNAcentral and processing of 13,834 RNA-Seq datasets using a standardized annotation pipeline.
