Motivation: Non-coding RNA (ncRNA) genes are increasingly acknowledged for their importance in the human genome. However, there is no comprehensive non-redundant database for all such human genes.
Results: We leveraged the effective platform of GeneCards, the human gene compendium, together with the power of fRNAdb and additional primary sources, to judiciously unify all ncRNA gene entries obtainable from 15 different primary sources. Overlapping entries were clustered to unified locations based on an algorithm employing genomic coordinates. This allowed GeneCards' gamut of relevant entries to rise ∼5-fold, resulting in ∼80,000 human non-redundant ncRNAs, belonging to 14 classes. Such 'grand unification' within a regularly updated data structure will assist future ncRNA research.
Availability And Implementation: All of these non-coding RNAs are included among the ∼122,500 entries in GeneCards V3.09, along with pertinent annotation, automatically mined by its built-in pipeline from 100 data sources. This information is available at www.genecards.org.

RNA interference (RNAi) technology is widely used in gene functional studies and has been shown to be a promising next generation alternative for insect pest management. To understand the efficiency of RNAi machinery in Leucinodes orbonalis (L. orbonalis) Guenee, a destructive pest of eggplant, core RNAi pathway genes Argonaute-2, Dicer-2, Loquacious, and Sid-1 were mined from the transcriptome and characterized.

Lung cancer is a highly prevalent and fatal cancer that seriously threatens the safety of people in various regions around the world. Difficulty in early diagnosis and strong drug resistance have always been difficulties in the treatment of lung cancer, so the prognosis of lung cancer has always been the focus of scientific researchers. This study used genotype-tissue expression (GTEx) and the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) databases to obtain 477 lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and 347 healthy individuals' samples as research subjects and divided LUAD patients into low-risk and high-risk groups based on prognostic risk scores.

Background: Advances in treatment have swiftly alleviated systemic inflammation of Takayasu's arteritis (TAK), while subclinical vascular inflammation and the ensuing arterial remodeling continue to present unresolved challenges in TAK. The phenotypic switching of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) is regarded as the first step in vascular pathology and contributes to arterial remodeling. Exosomes facilitate the transfer and exchange of proteins and specific nucleic acids, thereby playing a significant role in intercellular communication.

Background: Early-onset schizophrenia (EOS) occurs between the ages of 13 and 17 years, and neurobiological factors leading to cognitive deficits and psychotic symptoms with varying degrees of positive and negative symptoms. Numerous studies have demonstrated a broad link between immune dysregulation and the central nervous system in EOS, and its pathogenesis involves immune dysfunction, but the exact biological mechanisms have not been elucidated. This study employs immune infiltration analysis and bioinformatics to unveil the pathogenic mechanisms of EOS and identify potential diagnostic biomarkers, aiming for more precise clinical interventions.

Dynamic changes in DNA methylation are prevalent during the progression of breast cancer. However, critical alterations in aberrant methylation and gene expression patterns have not been thoroughly characterized. Here, we utilized guide positioning sequencing (GPS) to conduct whole-genome DNA methylation analysis in a unique human breast cancer progression model: MCF10 series of cell lines (representing benign/normal, atypical hyperplasia, and metastatic carcinoma).
