Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are unique RNA transcripts that have been widely identified in
the eukaryotic genome and have been shown to play key roles in the development of many …

Omics-based technologies have revolutionized our understanding of the coding potential of
the genome. In particular, these studies revealed widespread unannotated open reading …

Abstract The National Genomics Data Center (NGDC), part of the China National Center for
Bioinformation (CNCB), provides a family of database resources to support global academic …

Abstract NONCODE (http://www. bioinfo. org/noncode/) is a systematic database that is
dedicated to presenting the most complete collection and annotation of non-coding RNAs …

All species continuously evolve short open reading frames (sORFs) that can be templated
for protein synthesis and may provide raw materials for evolutionary adaptation. We …

Translated small open reading frames (smORFs) can have important regulatory roles and
encode microproteins, yet their genome-wide identification has been challenging. We …

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a group of transcripts that are longer than 200
nucleotides (nt) without coding potential. Over the past decade, tens of thousands of novel …

Functional protein-coding small open reading frames (smORFs) are emerging as an
important class of genes. However, the number of translated smORFs in the human genome …

The human genome contains thousands of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), which are thought to
lack open reading frames (ORFs) and cannot be translated. Some ncRNAs reportedly have …

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been proven to play important roles in
transcriptional processes and various biological functions. Establishing a comprehensive …
