miRTarBase
收藏资源简介:
miRTarBase has accumulated more than three hundred and sixty thousand miRNA-target interactions (MTIs), which are collected by manually surveying pertinent literature after NLP of the text systematically to filter research articles related to functional studies of miRNAs. Generally, the collected MTIs are validated experimentally by reporter assay, western blot, microarray and next-generation sequencing experiments. While containing the largest amount of validated MTIs, the miRTarBase provides the most updated collection by comparing with other similar, previously developed databases.
miRTarBase 已累计收录超过36万条微小RNA(microRNA, miRNA)-靶标互作(miRNA-target interactions, MTIs)记录。该数据库的MTIs数据收集流程如下:先通过自然语言处理(Natural Language Processing, NLP)对相关文献进行系统筛选,得到与miRNA功能研究相关的学术论文后,再经人工调研相关文献整理得到。总体而言,所收录的MTIs均通过报告基因检测(reporter assay)、蛋白质印迹法(western blot)、基因芯片技术(microarray)以及下一代测序(next-generation sequencing)实验完成了实验验证。尽管miRTarBase是目前收录经实验验证MTIs数量最多的数据库,但相较于其他同类已开发的早期数据库,其仍能提供更新更为及时的数据集收录。
