The ChiTaRS (Chimeric Transcripts and RNA-Sequencing) database is a comprehensive resource that
compiles data on chimeric RNAs, providing valuable insights into their roles in various biological
processes and diseases. The database is designed to support researchers in exploring chimeric RNA
sequences, their formation, and functional implications.
Chimeric RNAs, resulting from the fusion of two or more distinct RNA sequences, play significant
roles in gene regulation, cancer development, and other diseases. Despite their importance, data on
chimeric RNAs have been scattered across various studies, lacking a centralized resource for
comprehensive analysis. ChiTaRS aims to fill this gap by offering a curated and searchable database
of chimeric RNA sequences, sourced from high-throughput sequencing data and literature.
