AREsite is a database of AU-rich elements (ARE) in vertebrate mRNA 3'-untranslated regions (UTRs).

[1] AU-rich elements are involved in the control of gene expression.

They are the most common determinant of RNA stability in mammalian cells.

[2] It represents an update that allows for more detailed analysis of ARE, GRE, and URE (AU, GU, and U-rich elements).
