Welcome to Circular RNA Interactome

Hundreds of RNA-binding proteins and miRNAs has been shown to regulate gene
expression in mammals. Recently, circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been reported to
regulate gene expression by sponging miRNA. Here we have used 109 datasets of
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and queried circRNAs (Glažar et al. 2014) for
RNA-binding sites. CircInteractome predicts the miRNAs which can potentially
target the circRNAs using the Targetscan prediction tool (Grimson et al., 2007).
This computational tool enables the prediction and mapping of binding sites for
RBPs and miRNAs on reported circRNAs.

Highlights of CircInteractome:

 * Searches circRNAs name
 * Searches the genomic position and best-matching transcripts of the circRNA
 * Retrieves genomic and mature circRNA sequences
 * Searches RBPs binding to a circRNA and to sequences upstream/downstream of
   the circRNA
 * Identifies RBPs binding to the circRNA junctions
 * Identifies miRNAs targeting a circRNA
 * Designs divergent primers for circRNAs
 * Designs siRNAs Specific to circRNA

Caveats


CircInteractome computationally identifies potential binding sites for RNA
binding proteins within circRNAs. Authors emphasize that the binding sites
identified here are only potential or predicted based on CLIP data sets and are
subject to experimental validation.
