MNDR v3.0: mammal ncRNA-disease repository with increased coverage and annotation

Nucleic Acids Res. 2021 Jan 8;49(D1):D160-D164. doi: 10.1093/nar/gkaa707.

Abstract

Many studies have indicated that non-coding RNA (ncRNA) dysfunction is closely related to numerous diseases. Recently, accumulated ncRNA-disease associations have made related databases insufficient to meet the demands of biomedical research. The constant updating of ncRNA-disease resources has become essential. Here, we have updated the mammal ncRNA-disease repository (MNDR, http://www.rna-society.org/mndr/) to version 3.0, containing more than one million entries, four-fold increment in data compared to the previous version. Experimental and predicted circRNA-disease associations have been integrated, increasing the number of categories of ncRNAs to five, and the number of mammalian species to 11. Moreover, ncRNA-disease related drug annotations and associations, as well as ncRNA subcellular localizations and interactions, were added. In addition, three ncRNA-disease (miRNA/lncRNA/circRNA) prediction tools were provided, and the website was also optimized, making it more practical and user-friendly. In summary, MNDR v3.0 will be a valuable resource for the investigation of disease mechanisms and clinical treatment strategies.
