Abstract
Subcellular localization of RNA is a crucial mechanism for regulating diverse biological processes within cells. Dynamic RNA subcellular localizations are essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis; however, their distribution and changes during development and differentiation remain largely unexplored. To elucidate the dynamic patterns of RNA distribution within cells, we have upgraded RNALocate to version 3.0, a repository for RNA-subcellular localization (http://www.rnalocate.org/ or http://www.rna-society.org/rnalocate/). RNALocate v3.0 incorporates and analyzes RNA subcellular localization sequencing data from over 850 samples, with a specific focus on the dynamic changes in subcellular localizations under various conditions. The species coverage has also been expanded to encompass mammals, non-mammals, plants and microbes. Additionally, we provide an integrated prediction algorithm for the subcellular localization of seven RNA types across eleven subcellular compartments, utilizing convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and transformer models. Overall, RNALocate v3.0 contains a total of 1 844 013 RNA-localization entries covering 26 RNA types, 242 species and 177 subcellular localizations. It serves as a comprehensive and readily accessible data resource for RNA-subcellular localization, facilitating the elucidation of cellular function and disease pathogenesis.
