Vesiclepedia 2024: an extracellular vesicles and extracellular particles repository

Download (1.74 MB)

 Vesiclepedia (http://www.microvesicles.org) is a free web-based compendium of DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids and metabolites that are detected or associated with extracellular vesicles (EVs) and extracellular particles (EPs). EVs are membranous vesicles that are secreted ubiquitously by cells from all domains of life from archaea to eukaryotes. In addition to EVs, it was reported recently that EPs like exomeres and supermeres are secreted by some mammalian cells. Both EVs and EPs contain proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and metabolites and has been proposed to be implicated in several key biological functions. Vesiclepedia catalogues proteins, DNA, RNA, lipids and metabolites from both published and unpublished studies. Currently, Vesiclepedia contains data obtained from 3533 EV studies, 50 550 RNA entries, 566 911 protein entries, 3839 lipid entries, 192 metabolite and 167 DNA entries. Quantitative data for 62 822 entries from 47 EV studies is available in Vesiclepedia. The datasets available in Vesiclepedia can be downloaded as tab-delimited files or accessible through the FunRich-based Vesiclepedia plugin.
