Abstract:
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in regulating gene expression, and a growing number of researchers have focused on the identification of target genes of lncRNAs. However, no online repository is available to collect the information on target genes regulated by lncRNAs. To make it convenient for researchers to know what genes are regulated by a lncRNA of interest, we developed a database named lncRNA2Target to provide a comprehensive resource of lncRNA target genes in 2015. To update the database this year, we retrieved all new lncRNA-target relationships from papers published from 1 August 2014 to 30 April 2018 and RNA-seq datasets before and after knockdown or overexpression of a specific lncRNA. LncRNA2Target database v2.0 provides a web interface through which its users can search for the targets of a particular lncRNA or for the lncRNAs that target a particular gene, and is freely accessible at http://123.59.132.21/lncrna2target.

The expression of more than 30,000 genes is controlled by approximately 2000-3000 transcription factors. This is possible because a single transcription factor can recognize more than one regulatory sequence. The specificity in gene...
