Abstract

LncBook, a comprehensive resource of human long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), has been used in a wide range of lncRNA studies across various biological contexts. Here, we present LncBook 2.0 (https://ngdc.cncb.ac.cn/lncbook), with significant updates and enhancements as follows: (i) incorporation of 119 722 new transcripts, 9632 new genes, and gene structure update of 21 305 lncRNAs; (ii) characterization of conservation features of human lncRNA genes across 40 vertebrates; (iii) integration of lncRNA-encoded small proteins; (iv) enrichment of expression and DNA methylation profiles with more biological contexts and (v) identification of lncRNA-protein interactions and improved prediction of lncRNA-miRNA interactions. Collectively, LncBook 2.0 accommodates a high-quality collection of 95 243 lncRNA genes and 323 950 transcripts and incorporates their abundant annotations at different omics levels, thereby enabling users to decipher functional significance of lncRNAs in different biological contexts.
