Mature miRNA Information:
The novel miRNA user provided is found in the YM500v2 database. The expression profile in tissues and the distribution of sample counts on expression (RPM) are shown in two figures. We applied three algorithms for predicting novel miRNAs: miRanalyzer, miRDeep2 and Mireap. The target prediction results are produced from two computational approaches: miRanda and TargetScan.

Precursor miRNA(s) Information:
The mature miRNA shown above most likely belongs to the pre-miRNA(s). The structures of the pre-miRNAs (stem-loop sequence) are plotted by RNAfold. The genomic regions of the pre-miRNAs are represented by three main customized genome browsers such as Ensembl, UCSC and NCBI.

Direction:
Please select a pre-miRNA and press the IsomiR Performance button to represent the miRNA isoforms.
