ncR2Met (2.0 version of the previous lncR2metasta), a manually curated database, aims at providing a comprehensive resource of ncRNA regulation in various cancer metastatic events, abbreviated as CMEs, such as cancer cell invasion, intravasation, extravasation, proliferation and so on, which may cooperatively facilitate malignant tumor spread and lead to massive patient deaths. It documents 1565 lncRNA-associated, 882 miRNA-associated, and 628 circRNA-associated entries for the ncRNA-CME associations during 50 CMEs across 63 human cancer subtypes. We believe that ncR2Met will act as a useful platform for elaborately understanding ncRNA functions in metastasis.
ncR2Met and LncR2metasta are offered to the public as a freely available resource.
Use and re-distribution of the data, in whole or in part, for commercial purposes requires explicit permission of the authors.
