starBase (Cite Our Paper) OR ENCORI (The Encyclopedia of RNA Interactomes) is an openly licensed and state-of-the-art platform to decode the cellular interaction networks among thousands of RNA binding proteins (RBPs) and various RNAs. We have identified millions of RBP-RNA and RNA-RNA interactions through analyzing thousands of CLIP-seq and various high-throughput sequencing data by developing new software and tools, and studied their functions and mechanisms in human diseases.


In summary, ENCORI identifies more than 4.1 million miRNA-ncRNA, 2.9 million miRNA-mRNA, 4.1 million RBP-RNA and 1.5 million RNA-RNA interactions from multi-dimensional sequencing data.


Accompany with gene expression data of 32 types of cancers which are derived from 10,882 RNA-seq and 10,546 miRNA-seq data, ENCORI allows researchers performing Pan-Cancer analysis on RNA-RNA and RBP-RNA interactions. ENCORI also provides platforms to perform the survival and differential expression analysis of miRNAs, lncRNAs, pseudogenes and mRNAs.
