IRESbase: A Comprehensive Database of Experimentally Validated Internal Ribosome Entry Sites
1 Apr 2020
Abstract excerpt
Internal ribosome entry sites (IRESs) are functional RNA elements that can directly recruit ribosomes to an internal position of the mRNA in a cap-independent manner to initiate translation. Recently, IRES elements have attracted much attention for their critical roles in various processes including translation initiation of a new type of RNA, circular RNA (circRNA), with no 5' cap to support classical...
