miRGator -- an integrated system for functional annotation of microRNAs
What you can do:
Database and navigator tool for functional interpretation of miRNAs.
Highlights:
- miRGator integrates target prediction, functional analysis, gene expression data and genome annotation.
- MiRNA function is inferred from the list of target genes predicted by miRanda, PicTar and TargetScanS programs.
- Statistical enrichment test of target genes in each term is performed for gene ontology, pathway and disease annotations.
- For the expression analysis, miRGator integrates public expression data of miRNA with those of mRNA and protein.
- Expression correlation between miRNA and target mRNA/proteins is evaluated and their expression patterns can be readily compared.
- Our web implementation supports diverse query types including miRNA name, gene symbol, gene ontology, pathway and disease terms.
- Interfaces for exploring common targets or regulatory miRNAs and for profiling compendium expression data have been developed as well.
