MiREDiBase, a manually curated database of validated and putative editing events in microRNAs.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are regulatory small non-coding RNAs that function as translational repressors. MiRNAs are involved in most cellular processes, and their expression and function are presided by several factors. Amongst, miRNA editing is an epitranscriptional modification that alters the original nucleotide sequence of selected miRNAs, possibly influencing their biogenesis and target-binding ability. A-to-I and C-to-U RNA editing are recognized as the canonical types, with the A-to-I type being the predominant one. Albeit some bioinformatics resources have been implemented to collect RNA editing data, it still lacks a comprehensive resource explicitly dedicated to miRNA editing. Here, we present MiREDiBase, a manually curated catalog of editing events in miRNAs. The current version includes 3,059 unique validated and putative editing sites from 626 pre-miRNAs in humans and three primates. Editing events in mature human miRNAs are supplied with miRNA-target predictions and enrichment analysis, while minimum free energy structures are inferred for edited pre-miRNAs. MiREDiBase represents a valuable tool for cell biology and biomedical research and will be continuously updated and expanded at https://ncrnaome.osumc.edu/miredibase .

LBD: a manually curated database of experimentally validated lymphoma biomarkers.

Project description:Lymphoma is a heterogeneous disease caused by malignant proliferation of lymphocytes, resulting in significant mortality worldwide. While more and more lymphoma biomarkers have been identified with the advent and development of precision medicine, there are currently no databases dedicated to systematically gathering these scattered treasures. Therefore, we developed a lymphoma biomarker database (LBD) to curate experimentally validated lymphoma biomarkers in this study. LBD consists of 793 biomarkers extracted from 978 articles covering diverse subtypes of lymphomas, including 715 single and 78 combined biomarkers. These biomarkers can be categorized into molecular, cellular, image, histopathological, physiological and other biomarkers with various functions such as prognosis, diagnosis and treatment. As a manually curated database that provides comprehensive information about lymphoma biomarkers, LBD is helpful for personalized diagnosis and treatment of lymphoma.

ncRI: a manually curated database for experimentally validated non-coding RNAs in inflammation.

Project description:BackgroundInflammation has been considered to be central to the onset, progression, and outcome of infectious diseases, especially as one of the hallmarks of cancer. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), such as miRNAs and lncRNAs, have emerged as vital regulators in control of immune and inflammatory processes, and also play important roles in the inflammatory disease and immunotherapy.ResultsIn this study, we presented a database ncRI, which documented experimentally verified ncRNAs in inflammatory diseases, from published articles. Each entry contained the detailed information about ncRNA name, inflammatory diseases, mechanism, experimental techniques (e.g., microarray, RNA-seq, qRT-PCR), experimental samples (cell line and/or tissue), expression patterns of ncRNA (up-regulated or down-regulated), reference information (PubMed ID, year of publication, title of paper) and so on. Collectively, ncRI recorded 11,166 entries that include 1976 miRNAs, 1377 lncRNAs and 107 other ncRNAs across 3 species (human, mouse, and rat) from more than 2000 articles. All these data are free for users to search, browse and download.ConclusionIn summary, the presented database ncRI provides a relatively comprehensive credible repository about ncRNAs and their roles in inflammatory diseases, and will be helpful for research on immunotherapy. The ncRI is now freely available to all users at http://www.jianglab.cn/ncRI/.

EVLncRNAs: a manually curated database for long non-coding RNAs validated by low-throughput experiments.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important functional roles in various biological processes. Early databases were utilized to deposit all lncRNA candidates produced by high-throughput experimental and/or computational techniques to facilitate classification, assessment and validation. As more lncRNAs are validated by low-throughput experiments, several databases were established for experimentally validated lncRNAs. However, these databases are small in scale (with a few hundreds of lncRNAs only) and specific in their focuses (plants, diseases or interactions). Thus, it is highly desirable to have a comprehensive dataset for experimentally validated lncRNAs as a central repository for all of their structures, functions and phenotypes. Here, we established EVLncRNAs by curating lncRNAs validated by low-throughput experiments (up to 1 May 2016) and integrating specific databases (lncRNAdb, LncRANDisease, Lnc2Cancer and PLNIncRBase) with additional functional and disease-specific information not covered previously. The current version of EVLncRNAs contains 1543 lncRNAs from 77 species that is 2.9 times larger than the current largest database for experimentally validated lncRNAs. Seventy-four percent lncRNA entries are partially or completely new, comparing to all existing experimentally validated databases. The established database allows users to browse, search and download as well as to submit experimentally validated lncRNAs. The database is available at http://biophy.dzu.edu.cn/EVLncRNAs.

EnDisease: a manually curated database for enhancer-disease associations.

Project description:Genome-wide association studies have successfully identified thousands of genomic loci potentially associated with hundreds of complex traits in the past decade. Nevertheless, the fact that more than 90% of such disease-associated variants lie in non-coding DNA with unknown functional implications has been appealing for advanced analysis of plenty of genetic variants. Toward this goal, recent studies focusing on individual non-coding variants have revealed that complex diseases are often the consequences of erroneous interactions between enhancers and their target genes. However, such enhancer-disease associations are dispersed in a variety of independent studies, and thus far it is still difficult to carry out comprehensive downstream analysis with these experimentally supported enhancer-disease associations. To fill in this gap, we collected experimentally supported associations between complex diseases and enhancers and then developed a manually curated database called EnDisease (http://bioinfo.au.tsinghua.edu.cn/endisease/). Concretely, EnDisease documents 535 associations between 133 diseases and 454 enhancers, extracted from 199 articles. Moreover, after annotating these enhancers using 649 human and 115 mouse DNase-seq experiments, we find that cancer-related enhancers tend to be open across a large number of cell types. This database provides a user-friendly interface for browsing and searching, and it also allows users to download data freely. EnDisease has the potential to become a helpful and important resource for researchers who aim to understand the molecular mechanisms of enhancers involved in complex diseases.

PCOSDB: PolyCystic Ovary Syndrome Database for manually curated disease associated genes.

Project description:Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex disorder affecting approximately 5-10 percent of all women of reproductive age. It is a multi-factorial endocrine disorder, which demonstrates menstrual disturbance, infertility, anovulation, hirsutism, hyper androgenism and others. It has been indicated that differential expression of genes, genetic level variations, and other molecular alterations interplay in PCOS and are the target sites for clinical applications. Therefore, integrating the PCOS-associated genes along with its alteration and underpinning the underlying mechanism might definitely provide valuable information to understand the disease mechanism. We manually curated the information from 234 published literatures, including gene, molecular alteration, details of association, significance of association, ethnicity, age, drug, and other annotated summaries. PCOSDB is an online resource that brings comprehensive information about the disease, and the implication of various genes and its mechanism. We present the curated information from peer reviewed literatures, and organized the information at various levels including differentially expressed genes in PCOS, genetic variations such as polymorphisms, mutations causing PCOS across various ethnicities. We have covered both significant and non-significant associations along with conflicting studies. PCOSDB v1.0 contains 208 gene reports, 427 molecular alterations, and 46 phenotypes associated with PCOS.

dbPepNeo: a manually curated database for human tumor neoantigen peptides.

Project description:Neoantigens can function as actual antigens to facilitate tumor rejection, which play a crucial role in cancer immunology and immunotherapy. Emerging evidence revealed that neoantigens can be used to develop personalized, cancer-specific vaccines. To date, large numbers of immunogenomic peptides have been computationally predicted to be potential neoantigens. However, experimental validation remains the gold standard for potential clinical application. Experimentally validated neoantigens are rare and mostly appear scattered among scientific papers and various databases. Here, we constructed dbPepNeo, a specific database for human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I) binding neoantigen peptides based on mass spectrometry (MS) validation or immunoassay in human tumors. According to the verification methods of these neoantigens, the collection of peptides was classified as 295 high confidence, 247 medium confidence and 407?794 low confidence neoantigens, respectively. This can serve as a valuable resource to aid further screening for effective neoantigens, optimize a neoantigen prediction pipeline and study T-cell receptor (TCR) recognition. Three applications of dbPepNeo are shown. In summary, this work resulted in a platform to promote the screening and confirmation of potential neoantigens in cancer immunotherapy.

piRDisease v1.0: a manually curated database for piRNA associated diseases.

Project description:In recent years, researches focusing on PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) have increased rapidly. It has been revealed that piRNAs have strong association with a wide range of diseases; thus, it becomes very important to understand piRNAs' role(s) in disease diagnosis, prognosis and assessment of treatment response. We searched more than 2500 articles using keywords, such as `PIWI-interacting RNAs' and `piRNAs', and further scrutinized the articles to collect piRNAs-disease association data. These data are highly complex and heterogeneous due to various types of piRNA idnetifiers (IDs) and different reference genome versions. We put considerable efforts into removing redundancy and anomalies and thus homogenized the data. Finally, we developed the piRDisease database, which incorporates experimentally supported data for piRNAs' relationship with wide range of diseases. The piRDisease (piRDisease v1.0) is a novel, comprehensive and exclusive database resource, which provides 7939 manually curated associations of experimentally supported 4796 piRNAs involved in 28 diseases. piRDisease facilitates users by providing detailed information of the piRNA in respective disease, explored by experimental support, brief description, sequence and location information. Considering piRNAs' role(s) in wide range of diseases, it is anticipated that huge amount of data would be produced in the near future. We thus offer a submitting page, on which users or researches can contribute in to update our piRDisease database.
