| Description |
With this tool miRNA targets can be identified in a specific window around the
start of all genes. After selecting the miRNA, user selected parameters are the
sequence window to be analysed for each gene, the psRNATarget
score (0.0-5.0), and the relative orientation of the miRNA target site. Minus indicates
antisense, plus sense orientation. Restricting the psRNATarget score to a value
lower than 5.0 allows the identification of targets that display less numbers of
mismatches. 0.0 means identity between miRNA and target site. If a lower false positive prediction
rate is preferred, a more stringent cut-off threshold (0.0-2.0) should be set.
If a higher prediction coverage is desired, a more relaxed cut-off threshold (4.0-5.0) can
be chosen.
The screening sequences
for the miRNA genes and the number of genomic hits can be found on the
Documentation page.
