MicroRNAs are produced from longer transcripts which can code for more than one mature miRNAs. miRGen 2.0 is a database that aims to provide comprehensive information about the position of human and mouse microRNA coding transcripts and their regulation by transcription factors, including a unique compilation of both predicted and experimentally supported data. Expression profiles of microRNAs in several tissues and cell lines, single nucleotide polymorphism locations, microRNA target prediction on protein coding genes and mapping of miRNA targets of co-regulated miRNAs on biological pathways are also integrated into the database and user interface. The miRGen database will be continuously maintained and freely available at http://www.microrna.gr/mirgen/.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Database issue</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kawahara, Yukio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Megraw, Molly</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kreider, Edward</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iizasa, Hisashi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valente, Louis</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hatzigeorgiou, Artemis G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nishikura, Kazuko</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Frequency and fate of microRNA editing in human brain.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nucleic Acids Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nucleic Acids Res.</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adenosine</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adenosine Deaminase</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Base Sequence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brain</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inosine</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mice</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MicroRNAs</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molecular Sequence Data</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RNA Editing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RNA Precursors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RNA Processing, Post-Transcriptional</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RNA-Binding Proteins</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008 Sep</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">36</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5270-80</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Primary transcripts of certain microRNA (miRNA) genes (pri-miRNAs) are subject to RNA editing that converts adenosine to inosine (A--&amp;gt;I RNA editing). However, the frequency of the pri-miRNA editing and the fate of edited pri-miRNAs remain largely to be determined. Examination of already known pri-miRNA editing sites indicated that adenosine residues of the UAG triplet sequence might be edited more frequently. In the present study, therefore, we conducted a large-scale survey of human pri-miRNAs containing the UAG triplet sequence. By direct sequencing of RT-PCR products corresponding to pri-miRNAs, we examined 209 pri-miRNAs and identified 43 UAG and also 43 non-UAG editing sites in 47 pri-miRNAs, which were highly edited in human brain. In vitro miRNA processing assay using recombinant Drosha-DGCR8 and Dicer-TRBP (the human immuno deficiency virus transactivating response RNA-binding protein) complexes revealed that a majority of pri-miRNA editing is likely to interfere with the miRNA processing steps. In addition, four new edited miRNAs with altered seed sequences were identified by targeted cloning and sequencing of the miRNAs that would be processed from edited pri-miRNAs. Our studies predict that approximately 16% of human pri-miRNAs are subject to A--&amp;gt;I editing and, thus, miRNA editing could have a large impact on the miRNA-mediated gene silencing.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Megraw, Molly</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sethupathy, Praveen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corda, Benoit</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hatzigeorgiou, Artemis G</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">miRGen: a database for the study of animal microRNA genomic organization and function.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nucleic Acids Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nucleic Acids Res.</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Data Interpretation, Statistical</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Databases, Nucleic Acid</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genomics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Internet</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mice</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MicroRNAs</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rats</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">User-Computer Interface</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007 Jan</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">35</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D149-55</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;miRGen is an integrated database of (i) positional relationships between animal miRNAs and genomic annotation sets and (ii) animal miRNA targets according to combinations of widely used target prediction programs. A major goal of the database is the study of the relationship between miRNA genomic organization and miRNA function. This is made possible by three integrated and user friendly interfaces. The Genomics interface allows the user to explore where whole-genome collections of miRNAs are located with respect to UCSC genome browser annotation sets such as Known Genes, Refseq Genes, Genscan predicted genes, CpG islands and pseudogenes. These miRNAs are connected through the Targets interface to their experimentally supported target genes from TarBase, as well as computationally predicted target genes from optimized intersections and unions of several widely used mammalian target prediction programs. Finally, the Clusters interface provides predicted miRNA clusters at any given inter-miRNA distance and provides specific functional information on the targets of miRNAs within each cluster. All of these unique features of miRGen are designed to facilitate investigations into miRNA genomic organization, co-transcription and targeting. miRGen can be freely accessed at http://www.diana.pcbi.upenn.edu/miRGen.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Database issue</style></issue></record></records></xml>
