microRNAs (miRNAs) represent an abundant group of small regulatory non-coding RNAs in eukaryotes. The emergence of Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has allowed the systematic detection of small RNAs (sRNAs) and de novo sequencing of genomes quickly and with low cost. As a result, there is an increased need to develop fast miRNA prediction tools to annotate miRNAs from various organisms with a high level of accuracy, using the genome sequence or the NGS data. Several miRNA predictors have been proposed to achieve this purpose.

miRNA-SNiPer

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

MicroRNAs (miRNA) are a class of non-coding RNAs important in posttranscriptional regulation of target genes. Previous studies have proven that genetic variability of miRNA genes (miR-SNP) has an impact on phenotypic variation and disease susceptibility in human, mice and some livestock species. MicroRNA gene polymorphisms could therefore represent biomarkers for phenotypic traits also in other animal species.

Bioinformatics Resource Manager

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

The Bioinformatics Resource Manager (BRM) is a software environment that provides the user with data management, retrieval and integration capabilities. Designed in collaboration with biologists, BRM simplifies mundane analysis tasks of merging microarray and proteomic data across platforms, facilitates integration of users' data with functional annotation and interaction data from public sources and provides connectivity to visual analytic tools through reformatting of the data for easy import or dynamic launching capability.

NRDR

Submitted by ChenLiang on Thu, 10/20/2016 - 20:36

Large-scale transcriptome projects have shown that the number of RNA transcripts not coding for proteins (non-coding RNAs) is much larger than previously recognized. High-throughput technologies, coupled with bioinformatics approaches, have produced increasing amounts of data, highlighting the role of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in biological processes. Data generated by these studies include diverse non-coding RNA classes from organisms of different kingdoms, which were obtained using different experimental and computational assays.

miRdentify

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

During recent years, miRNAs have been shown to play important roles in the regulation of gene expression. Accordingly, much effort has been put into the discovery of novel uncharacterized miRNAs in various organisms. miRNAs are structurally defined by a hairpin-loop structure recognized by the two-step processing apparatus, Drosha and Dicer, necessary for the production of mature ~ 22-nucleotide miRNA guide strands.

miRNA-deKmer

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

The microRNA (miRNA), a small non-coding RNA molecule, plays an important role in transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Its abnormal expression, however, has been observed in many cancers and other disease states, implying that the miRNA molecules are also deeply involved in these diseases, particularly in carcinogenesis. Therefore, it is important for both basic research and miRNA-based therapy to discriminate the real pre-miRNAs from the false ones (such as hairpin sequences with similar stem-loops).

MirID

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

MicroRNAs play important roles in most biological processes, including cell proliferation, tissue differentiation, and embryonic development, among others. They originate from precursor transcripts (pre-miRNAs), which contain phylogenetically conserved stem-loop structures. An important bioinformatics problem is to distinguish the pre-miRNAs from pseudo pre-miRNAs that have similar stem-loop structures. We present here a novel method for tackling this bioinformatics problem.

Ebbie

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

DNA sequencing is used ubiquitously: from deciphering genomes to determining the primary sequence of small RNAs (smRNAs). The cloning of smRNAs is currently the most conventional method to determine the actual sequence of these important regulators of gene expression. Typical smRNA cloning projects involve the sequencing of hundreds to thousands of smRNA clones that are delimited at their 5' and 3' ends by fixed sequence regions. These primers result from the biochemical protocol used to isolate and convert the smRNA into clonable PCR products.

SbacHTS

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

High-throughput cell-based phenotypic screening has become an increasingly important technology for discovering new drug targets and assigning gene functions. Such experiments use hundreds of 96-well or 384-well plates, to cover whole-genome RNAi collections and/or chemical compound files, and often collect measurements that are sensitive to spatial background noise whose patterns can vary across individual plates. Correcting these position effects can substantially improve measurement accuracy and screening success.

SubpathwayGMir

Submitted by ChenLiang on Fri, 09/02/2016 - 21:59

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate disease-relevant metabolic pathways. However, most current pathway identification methods fail to consider miRNAs in addition to genes when analyzing pathways. We developed a powerful method called Subpathway-GMir to construct miRNA-regulated metabolic pathways and to identify miRNA-mediated subpathways by considering condition-specific genes, miRNAs, and pathway topologies. We used Subpathway-GMir to analyze two liver hepatocellular carcinomas (LIHC), one stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), and one type 2 diabetes (T2D) data sets.
