Increasing evidence reveals that circular RNAs (circRNAs) are widespread in eukaryotes and play important roles in diverse biological processes. However, a comprehensive functionally annotated circRNA database is still lacking. CircFunBase is a web-accessible database that aims to provide a high-quality functional circRNA resource including experimentally validated and computationally predicted functions. The current version of CircFunBase documents more than 7000 manually curated functional circRNA entries, mainly including Homo sapiens, Mus musculus etc. CircFunBase provides visualized circRNA-miRNA interaction networks. In addition, a genome browser is provided to visualize the genome context of circRNAs. As a biological information platform for circRNAs, CircFunBase will contribute for circRNA studies and bridge the gap between circRNAs and their functions.
