miRBase -- tools for microRNA genomics
What you can do:
Search for comprehensive microRNA sequence data, annotation and predicted gene targets.
Highlights:
- miRBase is the central online repository for microRNA (miRNA) nomenclature, sequence data, annotation and target prediction.
- The current release (10.0) contains 5071 miRNA loci from 58 species, expressing 5922 distinct mature miRNA sequences: a growth of over 2000 sequences in the past 2 years.
- miRBase provides a range of data to facilitate studies of miRNA genomics: all miRNAs are mapped to their genomic coordinates.
- Clusters of miRNA sequences in the genome are highlighted, and can be defined and retrieved with any inter-miRNA distance.
- The overlap of miRNA sequences with annotated transcripts, both protein- and non-coding, are described.
- Graphical views of the locations of a wide range of genomic features in model organisms allow for the first time the prediction of the likely boundaries of many miRNA primary transcripts.
