MicroRNA Targets - How to predict?
نویسنده
چکیده
A number of web tools are available for the prediction and identification of target microRNAs (miRNAs). The choice, availability, validity and selection of an optimal yet appropriate tool are a challenge for the design of high throughput assays with promising miRNA targets. The current trends and challenges for target microRNAs (miRNAs) prediction, identification and selection is described in this review.

متن کاملIsoform-level microRNA-155 target prediction using RNA-seq
Computational prediction of microRNA targets remains a challenging problem. The existing rule-based, data-driven and expression profiling approaches to target prediction are mostly approached from the gene-level. The increasing availability of RNA-seq data provides a new perspective for microRNA target prediction on the isoform-level. We hypothesize that the splicing isoform is the ultimate eff...
متن کاملmicroRNA target identification by RNA pull down with biotinylated microRNA mimics
New exciting experimental approaches to transcriptome-wide identification of microRNA binding sites are revealing surprising details about microRNA interaction with RNA targets. Approximately one out of five microRNA interactions occur without canonical perfect base pairing to the seed sequence. Instead they are often governed by imperfect binding to the center of the microRNA. One primate spec...
