Data sources

RNA-RNA interactions (RRIs) in RISE are from high-throughput sequencing-based experiments and other public available (primary) databases and datasets.  The following table gives the detailed source information.  Briefly, RISE curated RRIs from 3 types of sources----transcriptome-wide studies, targeted studies, and other databases/datasets.  Among them, transcriptome-wide studies use PARIS, MARIOS, SPLASH, LIGR-seq technologies to discover RRIs, and targeted studies use RIA-seq, RAP-RNA, CLASH.  The “other databases/datasets” include RRIs from the NPInter v3.0, RAID v2.0, RAIN databases, and the Lai D, et al. 2016 datasets(published in PMID: 26673718).  Currently, RRIs in RISE come from 5 species --human, mouse, yeast, E.coli, S.enteria, or 10 different cell lines.

mESCa: This experiment used in MARIO detects RRIs directly connected by one protein.

mESCb: This experiment used in MARIO detects RRIs connected by multiple proteins.

Basic Statistics

The following pie plots show the number of RNA-RNA interactions in RISE,  per species, cell line and method/source.


RRIs in different species
RRIs in different cell lines
RRIs from different sources
Interactions between different types of RNAs

The following circos plots show the number of RNA-RNA interactions (RRIs) within/between different types of RNAs,  including mRNAs, lncRNAs, miRNAs, rRNAs, snoRNAs, snRNAs, tRNAs, non-canonical RNAs, and others( Transposable element, pseudogene).

As a unique feature, the majority of RRIs in RISE involve mRNAs and lncRNAs.
