Analysis of ECM accumulation-related miR-1207-5p targets using TargetScan and miRanda.

1TargetScan website: http://www.targetscan.org. 2miRanda website: http://www.microrna.org. 3Conserved across most mammals. 4Predicted efficacy of targeting [20]. 5Type of site: TargetScan predicts biological targets of miRNAs by searching for the presence of conserved 8mer and 7mer sites that match the seed region of each miRNA. 7mer-1A sites: exact match to positions 2–7 of the mature miRNA (the seed) followed by an “A” (adenine). 7mer-m8 sites: exact match to positions 2–8 of the mature miRNA (the seed + position 8). 8mersites: exact match to positions 2–8 of the mature miRNA followed by an “A” (adenine). 7mer-m8 sites are defined [19].
