RPS: a comprehensive database of RNAs involved in liquid-liquid phase separation.

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is critical for assembling membraneless organelles (MLOs) such as nucleoli, P-bodies, and stress granules, which are involved in various physiological processes and pathological conditions. While the critical role of RNA in the formation and the maintenance of MLOs is increasingly appreciated, there is still a lack of specific resources for LLPS-related RNAs. Here, we presented RPS (http://rps.renlab.org), a comprehensive database of LLPS-related RNAs in 20 distinct biomolecular condensates from eukaryotes and viruses. Currently, RPS contains 21,613 LLPS-related RNAs with three different evidence types, including 'Reviewed', 'High-throughput' and 'Predicted'. RPS provides extensive annotations of LLPS-associated RNA properties, including sequence features, RNA structures, RNA-protein/RNA-RNA interactions, and RNA modifications. Moreover, RPS also provides comprehensive disease annotations to help users to explore the relationship between LLPS and disease. The user-friendly web interface of RPS allows users to access the data efficiently. In summary, we believe that RPS will serve as a valuable platform to study the role of RNA in LLPS and further improve our understanding of the biological functions of LLPS.
