The correct post-transcriptional RNA processing is finely regulated by RNA-binding proteins. Unfortunately, there is little experimental information on target RNA sequences of RNA-binding proteins and moreover such experimentally derived target sequences are annotated in a compact form by the score matrices that overestimate the number of possible recognized sequences. We carried out an exhaustive hand curated literature search to create a database, SpliceAid, collecting all the experimentally assessed target RNA sequences that are bound by splicing proteins in humans. We built a web resource, database driven, to easy query SpliceAid and give back the results by an accurate and dynamic graphic representation.
SpliceAid database is freely accessible at http://www.introni.it/splicing.html.
正确的转录后RNA加工由RNA结合蛋白精细调控。遗憾的是,关于RNA结合蛋白的靶RNA序列的实验信息很少,而且通过得分矩阵以紧凑形式注释这些实验衍生的靶序列时,会高估可能被识别的序列数量。我们进行了详尽的人工文献检索以创建一个数据库SpliceAid,收集所有经实验评估的人类剪接蛋白所结合的靶RNA序列。我们构建了一个由数据库驱动的网络资源,以便于查询SpliceAid并通过准确且动态的图形表示返回结果。
