AB  - Summary Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can act as molecular sponges or decoys for an RNA-binding protein (RBP) through their RBP binding sites, thereby modulating the expression of all target genes of the corresponding RBP of interest. Here, we present a web tool named RBPSponge to explore lncRNAs based on their potential to act as a sponge for an RBP of interest. RBPSponge identifies the occurrences of RBP binding sites and CLIP peaks on lncRNAs, and enables users to run statistical analyses to investigate the regulatory network between lncRNAs, RBPs and targets of RBPs.Availability The web server is available at https://www.RBPSponge.comContact hilal.kazan{at}antalya.edu.tr
