Biology:Circular RNA databases and resources

From HandWiki


In molecular biology, Circular RNAs (circRNAs) refer to a class of circular RNA molecules found across all kingdoms of life.[1][2][3] Studies in 2013 have suggested that circRNAs play important regulatory roles in miRNA activity. Researchers found that CDR1as circRNA acts as a miR-7 super-sponge that contains about 70 target sites from the same miR-7 at the same transcript.[4][5] The other testis-specific circRNA, sex-determining region Y (Sry), also was found as a miR-138 sponge.[6] About-mentioned examples suggesting that miRNA sponge effects achieved by circRNA formation may be a general phenomenon. As miR-7 modulates the expression of several oncogenes, ciRS-7/miR-7 interactions may play an important roles in cancer-related pathways.[7] circRNA has also been shown in viral infection where it sequesters anti-viral protein to enhance viral replication.[8][9]

This Circular RNA (circRNA) databases and resources is a compilation of databases and web portals and servers used for circRNAs.
