List of plant lncRNA databases

Database Descriptions/features Website Ref
The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR) Comprehensive database of Arabidopsis thaliana genome, including annotated genome sequences (TAIR10), gene structures, and transcriptome data for coding and nonprotein-coding loci. TAIR has multiple analytical tools: interactive genome browser, BLAST, motif analysis, bulk data retrieval, and a chromosome map tool https://www.arabidopsis.org/ [23]
Araportll A comprehensive database based on Arabidopsis Col-0 version 11 (Araport11) includes additional coding and noncoding annotations compared to TAIR10, such as lincRNAs, NATs, and other ncRNAs https://www.araport.org/ [24]
Plant long noncoding RNA database (PLncDB) This database includes a curated list of >13,000 lincRNAs identified using RNA-seq and tiling array and their organ-specific expression and the differential expression in RdDM mutants. PLncDB has a genome browser for viewing the association of various epigenetic markers http://chualab.rockefeller.edu/gbrowse2/homepage.html [3]
Green Non-coding
Database
(GREENC)
GREENC has >120,000 annotated lncRNAs from 37 plant species and algae. The user can access the coding potential and folding energy for each lncRNA http://greenc.sciencedesigners.com/wiki/Main_Page [25]
NONCODE v4.0 NONCODE includes >500,000 lncRNAs from 16 species. Arabidopsis is the only plant species, as NONCODE focuses on non-plant species, including human and mouse http://www.noncode.org/index.phphttp://www.noncode.org/index.php [26]
CANTATAdb CANTATAdb contains >45,000 plant lncRNAs from ten model plant species. In addition to tissue-specific expressions and coding potential, each lncRNA is also evaluated based on potential roles in splicing regulation and miRNA modulations http://cantata.amu.edu.pl/ [27]
Plant ncRNA database (PNRD) PNRD has >25,000 ncRNAs of 11 different types and from 150 plant species. It also includes analytical tools, such as an miRNA predictor, coding potential calculator, and customized genome browser http://structuralbiology.cau.edu.cn/PNRD/ [28]
Plant Natural
Antisense
Transcripts
DataBase
(PlantNATsDB)
A database for natural antisense transcripts (NATs) from 70 plant species, associated gene information, small RNA expression, and GO annotation http://bis.zju.edu.cn/pnatdb/ [29]
