RNAcentral

🎉New RNAcentral paper published in Nucleic Acids Research! Discover automated literature integration, new expert databases, gene-level entries grouping related transcripts, and more: doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk…

1/9 🧵 Excited to share our latest paper: GOFlowLLM - Curating miRNA literature with Large Language Models and flowcharts. Read the full paper here: doi.org/10.1093/bioinf… or highlights below!

All data freely available at rnacentral.org with API access, embeddable widgets, and full database dumps. Huge thanks to all @RNAcentral Consortium members for their contributions! Explore the new features and let us know what you think!

Major structural change: RNAcentral now groups related transcripts into gene-level entries! Using ML + graph clustering, we built 103,814 human ncRNA genes from 600,225 transcripts. Better reflects biology and enables comparative analyses.
