Plant microRNA (miRNA) has an important role in controlling gene regulation in various biological processes such as cell development, signal transduction, and environmental responses. While information on plant miRNAs and their targets is widely available, accessible online plant miRNA resources are limited; most of them are intended for economically important crops or plant model organisms.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are nonprotein coding RNAs between 20 and 22 nucleotides long that attenuate protein production. Different types of sequence data are being investigated for novel miRNAs, including genomic and transcriptomic sequences. A variety of machine learning methods have successfully predicted miRNA precursors, mature miRNAs, and other nonprotein coding sequences. MirTools, mirDeep2, and miRanalyzer require "read count" to be included with the input sequences, which restricts their use to deep-sequencing data.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important negative regulators of gene expression in plant and animals, which are endogenously produced from their own genes. Computational comparative approach based on evolutionary conservation of mature miRNAs has revealed a number of orthologs of known miRNAs in different plant species. The homology-based plant miRNA discovery, followed by target prediction, comprises several steps, which have been done so far manually.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of biological processes in plants and animals. Recently, miRNA genes have been discovered, whose primary transcripts are spliced and which cannot be predicted directly from genomic sequence. Hence, more sophisticated programs for the detection of spliced miRNAs are required.
Amphioxus has been an important model for understanding the evolution of chordates and origin of vertebrates. Comparative transcriptome analysis can facilitate delineation of gene expression patterns of amphioxus at different developmental stages. So far, however, few such analyses have been performed. Here we have systematically compared amphioxus ESTs from five developmental stages. For the egg, gastrula, neurula, larva and adult stages, amphioxus ESTs were assembled, respectively, into 3364, 3230, 10,299, 4052 and 3866 contigs, and 193, 183, 933, 178 and 151 singlets.
Our database aim to make it easy for researchers to find the right tools or data source for their own specific study in miRNA field. Now we have collect >1000 tools. This database will update when every new 100 tools add in. Last update time 22nd April, 2018 (v1.2).
