LNCipedia is an extensive public database dedicated to long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), providing a rich resource for researchers in genomic studies. Currently in version 5.2, LNCipedia features over 127,800 transcripts and 56,946 genes, making it a vital tool for understanding the complexities of non-coding RNA functions in human biology. The platform offers a collection of 2,482 manually curated articles, illuminating the role of various lncRNAs in health and disease.

LNCipedia is equipped with useful tools, including integration with IGV (Integrative Genomics Viewer) and a UCSC track hub, enhancing user accessibility and data exploration. Researchers are encouraged to contribute their findings by submitting new lncRNA data to the database, fostering collaboration within the lncRNA research community. By providing comprehensive annotation and literature referencing, LNCipedia aims to advance our understanding of the significance of long non-coding RNAs, offering a strong foundation for future research and discoveries in the field.
