miR2Disease -- microRNA Disease Database
What you can do:
Search for information about diseases caused by miRNA deregulation.
Highlights:
- miR2Disease is a manually curated database that provides a comprehensive resource of microRNA deregulation in various human diseases.
- The current version documents 1939 curated relationships between 299 human microRNAs and 94 human diseases by reviewing more than 600 published papers.
- Around one-seventh of the microRNA-disease relationships represent the pathogenic roles of deregulated microRNA in human disease.
- Each entry in the miR2Disease contains detailed information on a microRNA-disease relationship, including a microRNA ID, the disease name, a brief description of the microRNA-disease relationship, an expression pattern of the microRNA, the detection method for microRNA expression, experimentally verified target gene(s) of the microRNA and a literature reference.
- miR2Disease provides a user-friendly interface for a convenient retrieval of each entry by microRNA ID, disease name, or target gene.
- It offers a submission page that allows researchers to submit established microRNA-disease relationships that are not documented.
