What you can do:
Predict viral miRNA hairpins.
Highlights:
  • Identifying potential miRNAs in all viral genomes would be valuable to virologists who study virus-host interactions.
  • Based on our previously reported hairpin secondary structure and feature selection filters, we have examined the 2266 available viral genome sequences for putative miRNA hairpins and identified 33 691 hairpin candidates in 1491 genomes.
  • Evaluation of the system performance indicated that our discovery pipeline exhibited 84.4% sensitivity.
  • We established an interface for users to query the predicted viral miRNA hairpins based on taxonomic classification, and a host target gene prediction service based on the RNAhybrid program and the 3'-UTR gene sequences of human, mouse, rat, zebrafish, rice and Arabidopsis.
