Rna22 is a pattern-based algorithm for the discovery of microRNA target sites and the corresponding heteroduplexes. [1]The algorithm is conceptually distinct from other methods for predicting microRNA:mRNA heteroduplexes in that it does not use experimentally validated heteroduplexes for training, instead relying only on the sequences of known mature miRNAs that are found in the public databases.
psRobot is a web-based tool for plant small RNA meta-analysis. psRobot computes stem-loop small RNA prediction, which aligns user uploaded sequences to the selected genome, extracts their predicted precursors, and predicts whether the precursors can fold into stem-loop shaped secondary structure. psRobot also computes small RNA target ...
Cupid is a method for simultaneous prediction of miRNA-target interactions and their mediated competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) interactions. It is an integrative approach significantly improves on miRNA-target prediction accuracy as assessed by both mRNA and protein level measurements in breast cancer cell lines.
MicroRNA sequencing (miRNA-seq), a type of RNA-Seq, is the use of next-generation sequencing or massively parallel high-throughput DNA sequencing to sequence microRNAs, also called miRNAs. miRNA-seq differs from other forms of RNA-seq in that input material is often enriched for small RNAs. miRNA-seq allows researchers to examine tissue-specific expression patterns, disease associations, and ...
In bioinformatics, TargetScan is a web server that predicts biological targets of microRNAs (miRNAs) by searching for the presence of sites that match the seed region of each miRNA. [1] For many species, other types of sites, known as 3'-compensatory sites [ 1 ] are also identified.
Sfold is a software program developed to predict probable RNA secondary structures through structure ensemble sampling and centroid predictions [1] [2] with a focus on assessment of RNA target accessibility, [3] for major applications to the rational design of siRNAs [4] in the suppression of gene expressions, and to the identification of targets for regulatory RNAs particularly microRNAs.
plant TARget REFiner (p-TAREF) identifies plant microRNA targets on the basis of multiple feature information derived from the flanking regions of the predicted target sites where traditional structure prediction approach may not be successful to assess the openness. It also provides an option to use encoded pattern to refine filtering.
The relation of miRNA and its target mRNA can be based on the simple negative regulation of a target mRNA, but it seems that a common scenario is the use of a "coherent feed-forward loop", "mutual negative feedback loop" (also termed double negative loop) and "positive feedback/feed-forward loop". Some miRNAs work as buffers of random gene ...
