Abstract
BACKGROUND: Circular RNA (circRNA) has been extensively identified in cells and tissues, and plays crucial roles in human diseases and biological processes. circRNA could act as dynamic scaffolding molecules that modulate protein-protein interactions. The interactions between circRNA and RNA Binding Proteins (RBPs) are also deemed to an essential element underlying the functions of circRNA. Considering cost-heavy and labor-intensive aspects of these biological experimental technologies, instead, the high-throughput experimental data has enabled the large-scale prediction and analysis of circRNA-RBP interactions.
