ViTa -- prediction of host microRNAs targets on viruses
What you can do:
Search for curated information of the known virus miRNA genes and the known/putative target sites of human, mice, rat and chicken miRNAs.
Highlights:
- This database is aimed to investigate regulatory relationships between host miRNAs and related viruses.
- Known miRNAs are obtained from miRBase.
- Virus data are collected and referred from ICTVdB, VBRC and VirGen.
- Experimentally validated miRNA targets on viruses were derived from literatures.
- miRanda and TargetScan are utilized to predict miRNA targets within virus genomes.
- ViTa also provides the virus annotations, virus-infected tissues and tissue specificity of host miRNAs.
- This work also facilitates the comparisons between subtypes of viruses, such as influenza viruses, human liver viruses and the conserved regions between viruses.
