miRBase aims
- to curate a consistent nomenclature scheme by which novel
microRNAs are named
- to act as the central repository for all published microRNA
sequences, and to facilitate online searching and bulk download
- f all microRNA data
- to provide human-readable and computer-parsable annotation of
microRNA sequences (for example, functional data, references, genome mappings)
- to provide access to the primary evidence that supports
microRNA annotations
- to link to and aggregate microRNA target predictions and
validations

Deep sequencing data
So what?
- Show isomiRs
- Read counts are proxy for expression
- Search by experiment, tissue, stage
Expression analysis
embryo brain testes
- vary
So what?
- Show isomiRs
- Read counts are proxy for expression
- Search by experiment, tissue, stage
- Evaluate dubious annotations

Deep sequencing data
High confidence miRNAs
- Both arms >10 reads
- 2 nt 3’ overhang (+/- 2)
- >50% of reads have same 5’ end
- Hairpin FFE < -0.2 kcal/mol/nt.
- >60% of mature nts paired
