The GeneCaRNA human gene database is a member of the GeneCards Suite. It presents ~280,000 human non-coding RNA genes, identified algorithmically from ~690,000 RNAcentral transcripts. This expands by ~tenfold the ncRNA gene count relative to other sources.

Many ncRNA sources are transcript-centric, but for non-coding variant analysis and disease decipherment it is essential to transform this information into a comprehensive set of genome-mapped ncRNA genes. We present GeneCaRNA, a new all-inclusive gene-centric ncRNA database within the GeneCards Suite.

Background: The clinical genetics revolution ushers in great opportunities, accompanied by significant challenges. The fundamental mission in clinical genetics is to analyze genomes, and to identify the most relevant genetic variations underlying a patient's phenotypes and symptoms. The adoption of Whole Genome Sequencing requires novel capacities for interpretation of non-coding variants.
