Predicted target genes of fish homologues of human miRNAs known to act on the hepatic insulin pathway.

The in silico prediction algorithms of miRNA targets available for fish included Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes), the stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus), the Fugu pufferfish (Takifugu rubripes), the green-spotted pufferfish (Tetraodon nigroviridis) and zebrafish (Danio rerio) and were used in addition to human (Homo sapiens) predictions as an approximation for omy-miRNA targets. All predictions are derived from the microCosm database.
