NLncCirSmk
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in response to abiotic stresses in plants, by acting as cis- or trans-acting regulators of protein-coding genes.
To accurately identify and characterize lncRNAs and their targets responding to salt stress, we developed a lncRNA and novel mRNA identification pipeline named NLncCirSmk by integrating different current methods. NLncCirSmk is based on the snakemake workflow management system, an open-source tool for creating reproducible and scalable data analyses. NLncCirSmk is freely available on GitHub . By employing NLncCirSmk, the researchers can simultaneously identify differentially expressed lncRNAs, circRNAs and novel mRNAs from the whole transcriptome sequencing data.
