Resumo
Transposable elements (TEs) play an essential role in the genetic variability of eukaryotic species. In plants, they may comprise up to 90% of the total genome. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are known to control gene expression and regulation. Although the relationship between ncRNAs and TEs is known, obtaining the organized data for sequenced genomes is not straightforward. In this study, we describe the PlaNC-TE :(http//planc-te.cp.utfpr.edu.br), a user-friendly portal harboring a knowledgebase created by integrating and analysing plant ncRNA-TE data. We identified a total of 14 350 overlaps between ncRNAs and TEs in 40 plant genomes. The database allows users to browse, search and download all ncRNA and TE data analysed. Overall, PlaNC-TE not only organizes data and provides insights about the relationship between ncRNA and TEs in plants but also helps improve genome annotation strategies. Moreover, this is the first database to provide resources to broadly investigate functions and mechanisms involving TEs and ncRNAs in plants.
