One of the most important resources for researchers of noncoding RNAs is the information available in public databases spread over the internet. However, the effective exploration of this data can represent a daunting task, given the large amount of databases available and the variety of stored data. This chapter describes a classification of databases based on information source, type of RNA, source organisms, data formats, and the mechanisms for information retrieval, detailing the relevance of each of these classifications and its usability by researchers. This classification is used to update a 2012 review, indexing now more than 229 public databases. This review will include an assessment of the new trends for ncRNA research based on the information that is being offered by the databases. Additionally, we will expand the previous analysis focusing on the usability and application of these databases in pathogen and disease research. Finally, this chapter will analyze how currently available database schemas can help the development of new and improved web resources.

Infertility is a prevalent problem among 10% of people within their reproductive years. Sometimes, even advanced treatment options like assisted reproduction technology have the potential to result in failed implantation. Because of the expected changes in gene expression during both in vitro and in vivo fertilization processes, these methods of assisting fertility have also been associated with undesirable pregnancy outcomes related to infertility.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) has become a dominant economic and health burden worldwide, and the role of autophagy in CAD requires further clarification. In this study, we comprehensively revealed the association between autophagy flux and CAD from multiple hierarchies. We explored autophagy-associated long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and the mechanisms underlying oxidative stress-induced human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) injury.

Background/aim: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) represents the most common type of renal cancer. When resectable, nephrectomy is the only radical treatment for ccRCC, however metastasis is already present at 30% of the patient population. Although great progress has been made in the field of targeted therapy with the emergence of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) the cure of metastatic ccRCC (mccRCC) remains far from achieved.

Background/aim: Chemotherapy based on 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) is the first-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer (GC) patients. Importantly, 5-Fu resistance is recognized as a major obstacle for the successful treatment of GC. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are non-coding RNAs involved in the pathogenesis of GC.

tsRNA is a class of non-coding RNAs derived from mature or precursor tRNAs. In recent years, more and more studies have explored the correlation between tsRNAs and tumours. tsRNAs can affect the biological behaviours of tumour cells such as proliferation, apoptosis and metastasis by regulating gene expression, protein translation or post-transcriptional regulation.
