Abstract Background With advancements in omics technologies, the range of biological processes where long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved, is expanding extensively, thereby generating the need to develop lncRNA annotation resources. Although, there are a plethora of resources for annotating genes, despite the extensive corpus of lncRNA literature, the available resources with lncRNA ontology annotations are rare. Results We present a lncRNA annotation extractor and repository (Lantern), developed using PubMed’s abstract retrieval engine and NCBO’s recommender annotation system. Lantern’s annotations were benchmarked against lncRNAdb’s manually curated free text. Benchmarking analysis suggested that Lantern has a recall of 0.62 against lncRNAdb for 182 lncRNAs and precision of 0.8. Additionally, we also annotated lncRNAs with multiple omics annotations, including predicted cis-regulatory TFs, interactions with RBPs, tissue-specific expression profiles, protein co-expression networks, coding potential, sub-cellular localization, and SNPs for ~ 11,000 lncRNAs in the human genome, providing a one-stop dynamic visualization platform. Conclusions Lantern integrates a novel, accurate semi-automatic ontology annotation engine derived annotations combined with a variety of multi-omics annotations for lncRNAs, to provide a central web resource for dissecting the functional dynamics of long non-coding RNAs and to facilitate future hypothesis-driven experiments. The annotation pipeline and a web resource with current annotations for human lncRNAs are freely available on sysbio.lab.iupui.edu/lantern.

Important Drug

Drug–drug interactions (DDIs) can cause drug toxicities, reduced pharmacological effects, and adverse drug reactions. Studies aiming to determine the possible DDIs for an investigational drug are part of the drug discovery and development process and include an assessment of the DDIs potential mediated by inhibition or induction of the most important drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450 isoforms. Our study was dedicated to creating a computer model for prediction of the DDIs mediated by the seven most important P450 cytochromes: CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C19, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, and CYP3A4. For the creation of structure–activity relationship (SAR) models that predict metabolism-mediated DDIs for pairs of molecules, we applied the Prediction of Activity Spectra for Substances (PASS) software and Pairs of Substances Multilevel Neighborhoods of Atoms (PoSMNA) descriptors calculated based on structural formulas. About 2500 records on DDIs mediated by these cytochromes were used as a training set. Prediction can be carried out both for known drugs and for new, not-yet-synthesized substances. The average accuracy of the prediction of DDIs mediated by various isoforms of cytochrome P450 estimated by leave-one-out cross-validation (LOO CV) procedures was about 0.92. The SAR models created are publicly available as a web resource and provide predictions of DDIs mediated by the most important cytochromes P450.

Abstract Dysregulation of gene expression plays an important role in cancer development. Identifying transcriptional regulators, including transcription factors and chromatin regulators, that drive the oncogenic gene expression program is a critical task in cancer research. Genomic profiles of active transcriptional regulators from primary cancer samples are limited in the public domain. Here we present BART Cancer (bartcancer.org), an interactive web resource database to display the putative transcriptional regulators that are responsible for differentially regulated genes in 15 different cancer types in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). BART Cancer integrates over 10000 gene expression profiling RNA-seq datasets from TCGA with over 7000 ChIP-seq datasets from the Cistrome Data Browser database and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). BART Cancer uses Binding Analysis for Regulation of Transcription (BART) for predicting the transcriptional regulators from the differentially expressed genes in cancer samples compared to normal samples. BART Cancer also displays the activities of over 900 transcriptional regulators across cancer types, by integrating computational prediction results from BART and the Cistrome Cancer database. Focusing on transcriptional regulator activities in human cancers, BART Cancer can provide unique insights into epigenetics and transcriptional regulation in cancer, and is a useful data resource for genomics and cancer research communities.
