    Long non-coding RNA and microRNA landscape of two major domesticated cotton species
    (Elsevier B.V., 2023) Singh, Ajeet; AT, Vivek; Gupta, Kanika; Sharma, Shruti; Kumar, Shailesh
    Allotetraploid cotton plants Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense have been widely cultivated for their natural, renewable textile fibres. Even though ncRNAs in domesticated cotton species have been extensively studied, systematic identification and annotation of lncRNAs and miRNAs expressed in various tissues and developmental stages under various biological contexts are limited. This influences the comprehension of their functions and future research on these cotton species. Here, we report high confidence lncRNAs and miRNA collection from G. hirsutum accession and G. barbadense accession using large-scale RNA-seq and small RNA-seq datasets incorporated into a user-friendly database, CoNCRAtlas. This database provides a wide range and depth of lncRNA and miRNA annotation based on the systematic integration of extensive annotations such as expression patterns derived from transcriptome data analysis in thousands of samples, as well as multi-omics annotations. We assume this comprehensive resource will accelerate evolutionary and functional studies in ncRNAs and inform future breeding programs for cotton improvement. CoNCRAtlas is accessible at http://www.nipgr.ac.in/CoNCRAtlas/.

    Host-virus interactions mediated by long non-coding RNAs
    (Elsevier B.V., 2021) Prasad, Ashish; Prasad, Manoj
    Viruses are obligate pathogens that cause a wide range of diseases across all kingdoms of life. They have a colossal impact on the economy and healthcare infrastructure world-wide. Plants and animals have developed sophisticated molecular mechanisms to defend themselves against viruses and viruses in turn hijack host mechanisms to ensure their survival inside their hosts. Long non-coding (lnc) RNAs have emerged as important macromolecules that regulate plant-virus and animal-virus interactions. Both pro-viral and anti-viral lncRNAs have been reported and they show immense potential to be used as markers and in therapeutics. The current review is focussed on the recent developments that have been made in viral interactions of animals and plants.
