miROrtho -- miRNA Orthology Database

URL:

What you can do:
Search for animal microRNA genes.
Highlights:
  • The miROrtho database presents the results of a comprehensive computational survey of miRNA gene candidates across the majority of sequenced metazoan genomes.
  • It has a three-tier analysis pipeline: (i) an SVM-based ab initio screen for potent hairpins, plus homologs of known miRNAs, (ii) an orthology delineation procedure and (iii) an SVM-based classifier of the ortholog multiple sequence alignments.
  • The web interface provides direct access to putative miRNA annotations, ortholog multiple alignments, RNA secondary structure conservation, and sequence data.
  • The miROrtho data are conceptually complementary to the miRBase catalog of experimentally verified miRNA sequences, providing a consistent comparative genomics perspective as well as identifying many novel miRNA genes with strong evolutionary support.
Keywords:
