News & Updates:

09/14/2024 - version 2.1 was released. New!

  • Integrating newly identified lncRNAs from 10 expert databases and by identifying full-length lncRNA transcripts using 94 PacBio long-read RNA sequencing datasets. However v2.1 is ongoding and unstable, so please use the v2.0 for your analysis.
  • This effort has led to a significant increase of lncRNA number to 526,318 from 323,950 in version 2.0.
