Circbank: a comprehensive database for circRNA with standard nomenclature

Abstract

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) represent a new type of regulatory RNA which forms a covalently closed continuous loop from back-splicing events, a process in which the downstream 5′ splice site and the 3′ splice site are covalently linked. Emerging evidence indicates that circRNAs exert a new layer of transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. However, there is no standard nomenclature of circRNA, although the study of circRNAs has exploded in the past few years. Here we present circbank (www.circbank.cn), a comprehensive database for human circRNAs, where a novel naming system of circRNAs based on the host genes of circRNAs was implemented. In addition to the new naming system, circbank collected other five features of circRNAs including the miRNA binding site, conservation of circRNAs, m6A modification of circRNAs, mutation of circRNAs and protein-coding potential of circRNAs. Circbank is publicly available and allows users to query, browse and download circRNAs with all six features we provided, based on different search criteria. The database may serve as a resource to facilitate the research of function and regulation of circRNAs.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
