Table 2.

Databases for identifying circRNAs and their basic properties or associations. The table summarises for each database what species the data are based on, as well as data sources, integrations or predictions of circRNA genes or transcripts. A link to the hosting website is provided followed by the latest known version as well as the most recent publication describing the database. IRES and MRE correspond to Internal Ribosome Entry Sites and miRNA Response Elements. See Section 3.2 for more information on CLIP and PAR-CLIP techniques.
