Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a type of transcript that is > 200 nucleotides, which have been proven to exert powerful regulatory functions in multiple species and typically lack the ability to codify for proteins. However, increasing evidence shows that lncRNAs are able to encode peptides that exert relevant activities in biological process and diseases. To dig the peptide treasure hidden in lncRNAs, we present a comprehensive database of lncRNA coding peptides across multiple species, LncPep. LncPep totally covers 10,580,228 peptides translated from 883,804 lncRNAs across 39 different species... Link

The TAiC refers to "Transcript Atlas in Cancers". The majority of human genes are subject to diverse post-transcriptional regulation that produces various transcripts, such as alternative splicing and alternative polyadenylation. Transcript-level studies have proven to be more precise in the characterization of tumor heterogeneity and intricate response to cellular regulation and extracellular stress. Here, we present a comprehensive characterization of transcripts in 1,017 cancer cell lines from the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE). The transcript repository was... Link

The fundamental process from DNA to functional mature RNA transcripts undergoes various transcriptional regulation and post-transcriptional modifications, which shapes the diversity of human transcriptome. Highly malleable property makes it much more differentiated and specific at transcript level than gene level in different tissues or physiological/pathological conditions. To maximize the utility of human specific RNA transcripts, we present SRTdb, a comprehensive database of human specific RNA transcripts. In total, SRTdb contains 1,160,216 RNA transcripts... Link
