Release 5

In the fifth version, two new species (Brassica rapa, Cucumis sativus) have been added to PlantcircBase, and novel circRNAs have been added to five species (Arabidopsis thaliana, Triticum aestivum, Echinochloa crus-galli, Glycine max and Zea mays). Totally, 19 organisms were collected and the number of circRNA entries has been increased to 121,971. In this version, we collected plant circRNAs from eight publications (details here) that were published in 2019. Twenty-seven literatures (details here) about plant circRNAs were also published, but these were not collected by PlantcircBase becauce of: (a) circRNA information were not provided by authors; (b) the genome of the organism was not well assembled; and so on.
