Release 2

In the second version, apart from the five organisms (Arabidopsis thaliana, Hordeum vulgare, Oryza sativa, Solanum lycopersicum, Zea mays), circRNA information from another three organisms, including Gossypium hirsutum, Glycine max and Triticum aestivum, have been added based on the published papers. Totally, the number of circRNA entries collected by PlantcircBase has been increased to 89,997. Detail statistics were shown in tables as following.

* miRNA sponges were predicted using eTM_finder (Ye et al., 2014);
  miRNA targets were predicted using psRNATarget (Dai and Zhao, 2011) (http://plantgrn.noble.org/psRNATarget/);
  BS valided means the back-splicing site has of circRNA been experimentally valided by Sanger sequencing;
  FL valided means the full-length of circRNA has been experimentally valided by Sanger sequencing.
