PLncDB
PLncDB (Plant Long noncoding RNA Database) is a comprehensive encyclopedia of plant long noncoding RNAs containing 1,246,372 lncRNAs from 80 plant species, ranging from chlorophytes to angiosperms. The database provides uniform lncRNA annotations using a standard pipeline across 13,834 RNA-Seq datasets, integrating expression patterns across tissues, developmental stages, and stress conditions. It includes epigenetic modification data (DNA methylation, histone modifications), predicted lncRNA targets (miRNA mimics and RNA-protein interactions), and tools for visualization (JBrowse, eFP Browser, EPexplorer). PLncDB also incorporates validated lncRNAs from EVLncRNAs and plant lncRNA candidates from RNAcentral.
