Mirbase.org Website Review

You might have noticed some additional information on the ma*ure miRNA pages in the last few weeks. See for example: section “QuickGO function” contains a set of high quality manual annotations of Gene Ontology terms for ma*ure miRNAs, the vast After repeated and unreasonable delay, miRBase 22 is finally released. As you might expect with such a long gap, the number of sequences in the database has jumped significantly — by over a third. The vast majority of the increase comes from new microRNA annotations in database represents a predicted hairpin portion of a miRNA transcript (termed mir in the database), with information on the location and To receive email notification of data updates and feature changes please subscribe to the miRBase announcements mailing list REFERENCES If you make use of the data presented here, please cite the following articles in addition to the primary data sources: Griffiths-Jones S, Saini HK, van Dongen S, Enright AJ.
