IRESite -- The database of experimentally verified IRES structures

URL:
http://www.iresite.org/
What you can do:
Search for information about the experimentally studied IRES (Internal Ribosome Entry Site) segments.
Highlights:
  • IRESite is an exhaustive, manually annotated non-redundant relational database focused on the IRES elements (Internal Ribosome Entry Site) and containing information not available in the primary public databases.
  • It presents experimental evidence of many eukaryotic viral and cellular internal ribosome entry site (IRES) regions.
  • It stores >600 records.
  • It provides: (i) biologically meaningful information regarding the IRESs and their experimental background (including annotation of IRES secondary structures and IRES trans-acting factors) as well as (ii) thorough concluding remarks to stored database entries and regularly updated evaluation of the reported IRES function.
  • It also includes a tool for displaying RNA secondary structures and for searching through the structures currently stored in the database.
