Experimentally Validated Plant lncRNAs in EVLncRNAs Database

  • Protocol

Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology ((MIMB,volume 1933))

Abstract

Plant long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important functional roles in various biological processes. Most databases deposit all plant lncRNA candidates produced by high-throughput experimental and/or computational techniques. There are several databases for experimentally validated lncRNAs. However, these databases are small in scale (with a few hundreds of lncRNAs only) and specific in their focuses (plants, diseases, or interactions). Thus, we established EVLncRNAs by curating lncRNAs validated by low-throughput experiments (up to May 1, 2016) and integrating specific databases (lncRNAdb, LncRANDisease, Lnc2Cancer, and PLNIncRBase) with additional functional and disease-specific information not covered previously. The current version of EVLncRNAs contains 1543 lncRNAs from 77 species, including 428 plant lncRNAs from 44 plant species. Compared to PLNIncRBase, our dataset does not contain any lncRNAs from microarray and deep sequencing. Moreover, 40% of entries contain new information (interaction and additional information from NCBI and Ensembl). The database allows users to browse, search, and download as well as to submit experimentally validated lncRNAs. The database is available at http://biophy.dzu.edu.cn/EVLncRNAs.
