Transcriptome data and transgenic library of overexpression for small coding genes of Arabidopsis thaliana

Abstract

Functional roles of small coding genes tend to be ignored in 20 years because small coding genes have not been identified in even highly accurate genomes of model organisms.　In plants, it is recognized that small coding genes play essential roles within a single cell as well as intercellular signal transductions like hormone-like peptides.　However, many of small coding genes are not annotated in plant genomes even if novel hormone-like peptides encoded by small coding genes tend to be hidden in plant genomes.　Here, we introduce transcriptome database （HanaDB-AT） and transgenic library of overexpression with focusing on Arabidopsis novel and annotated small coding genes.　The database and transgenic library should be useful tools to discover novel hormone-like peptides as well as other functional peptides in small coding genes.
