Prediction

Precursor prediction

Integration

  • GeneSet2MiRNA - Translates a gene list into a miRNA regulatory model.
  • MMIA - integrates miRNA and mRNA expression data with predicted microRNA target information for analysis with Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA).
  • miRNAMap - miRNA expression profiles from Q-PCR experiments on 224 human miRNAs in 18 major normal tissues in human.
  • smirnaDB - expression information of small RNAs (mostly miRNAs) for human, mouse, rat, zebrafish, worm and fruitfly . Clustering and mining tools are also available on the site.
  • miRSystem is a database which integrates seven well known miRNA target gene prediction programs: DIANA, miRanda, miRBridge, PicTar, PITA, rna22, and TargetScan.
