Abstrakt: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a type of non-coding RNA molecules exceeding 200 nucleotides in length and that do not encode proteins. The dysregulated expression of lncRNAs has been identified in various diseases, holding therapeutic significance. Over the past decade, numerous computational resources have been published in the field of lncRNA. In this chapter, we have provided a comprehensive review of the databases as well as predictive tools, that is, lncRNA databases, machine learning based algorithms, and tools predicting lncRNAs utilizing different techniques. The chapter will focus on the importance of lncRNA resources developed for different organisms specifically for humans, mouse, plants, and other model organisms. We have enlisted important databases, primarily focusing on comprehensive information related to lncRNA registries, associations with diseases, differential expression, lncRNA transcriptome, target regulations, and all-in-one resources. Further, we have also included the updated version of lncRNA resources. Additionally, computational identification of lncRNAs using algorithms like Deep learning, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Random Forest (RF) was also discussed. In conclusion, this comprehensive overview concludes by summarizing vital in silico resources, empowering biologists to choose the most suitable tools for their lncRNA research endeavors. This chapter serves as a valuable guide, emphasizing the significance of computational approaches in understanding lncRNAs and their implications in various biological contexts.
