miRBase

The miRBase database is a searchable database of published miRNA sequences and annotation. Each entry in the miRBase Sequence database represents a predicted hairpin portion of a miRNA transcript (termed mir in the database), with information on the location and sequence of the mature miRNA sequence (termed miR). Both hairpin and mature sequences are available for searching and browsing, and entries can also be retrieved by name, keyword, references and annotation. All sequence and annotation data are also available for download. The miRBase Registry provides miRNA gene hunters with unique names for novel miRNA genes prior to publication of results.

miRBase数据库是一个可供检索的已发表miRNA序列及其注释的数据库。数据库中的每条记录均代表miRNA转录本预测的发夹部分（在数据库中称为mir），并包含成熟miRNA序列（在数据库中称为miR）的位置和序列信息。发夹序列和成熟序列均可进行搜索和浏览，且可通过名称、关键词、参考文献和注释进行记录检索。所有序列和注释数据均提供下载服务。miRBase注册处为miRNA基因猎人提供在结果公布之前的新颖miRNA基因的唯一名称。
