Abstract
Abstract Background RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have been extensively studied in humans over the past few years. Multiple reports have been made in the literature for genome-wide survey for this class of proteins in the human genome using different tools and techniques. Due to the inherent difference in the nature of the methods used in identifying human RBPs, as well as the diverse sources for data collection in each of these studies, there exists immense heterogeneity (including diversity in data formats) and poor intersection among the datasets available from the different studies. Description hRBPome is a comprehensive database of human RBPs known from six different studies. We have introduced considerable uniformity in the data, by mapping the various data formats reported by the different studies to gene names. This makes comparison across studies (datasets) easier than was possible before. We also provide confidence scores to each of these known RBPs, on the basis of their presence across studies. Conclusion This database presents a set of 837 high confidence RBP genes, identified in three or more resources, out of the six studies considered. Hence, it forms a “gold standard” for RBPs in the human genome. It also provides information for all the human RBPs from multiple resources, known to the best of our knowledge, on a common platform.
