Biology: Full list of Arabidopsis database
AtGenExpress is a multinational effort designed to uncover the transcriptome of the multicellular model organism Arabidopsis thaliana. The project is coordinated by Detlef Weigel, Thomas Altmann and Lutz Nover with funding from the German Arabidopsis Functional Genomics Network (AFGN), and includes contributions from Germany, supported by DFG, as well as substantial contributions by RIKEN (Japan), NSF (USA; via funding of TAIR and the 2010 program), BBSRC (UK; via funding of the GARNET initiative), and the Max-Planck-Society.
The authors have identified a large number of Arabidopsis long noncoding RNAs by analysis of 200 tiling array datasets and RNA-seq data derived from 4 libraries. More than 13,000 RNAs were found transcribed from intergenic regions of the Arabidopsis thaliana genome. These intergenic transcription units (TUs) could be further classified into following groups:
Long noncoding RNAs are expressed in a temporal and/or spatial specific manner. Many genomic regions encoding long noncoding RNAs were found to be associated with DNA methylation and histone modification, such as H3K4me3,H3K27me3, H3K36me3 and H3K9me3, etc. To provide comprehensive information for the plant research community, we collected a variety of RNA-seq ,tiling array, CHIP-chip, CHIP-seq and small RNA datasets, and integrated them into the genome browser.
