TAPIR 1.2 – Prediction of Plant microRNA Targets

TAPIR 1.2

:: DESCRIPTION

TAPIR is a web server designed for the prediction of plant microRNA targets. The server offers the possibility to search for plant miRNA targets using a fast and a precise algorithm. The precise option is much slower but guarantees to find less perfectly paired miRNA – target duplexes. Furthermore, the precise option allows the prediction of target mimics, which are characterized by a miRNA – target duplex having a large loop, making them undetectable by traditional tools.

SplamiR – Predicting miRNAs in Plants

SplamiR

:: DESCRIPTION

SplamiR is the first method for the prediction of spliced miRNAs in plants. It takes genomic sequence and the sequence of a potential target mRNA as input. In the first phase of SplamiR, a database of complementary sequence pairs is created for the given genomic sequence. These sequence pairs might encode for RNAs folding into stem-loop structures. In the second phase, this database is searched for sequences with complementarity to the given target mRNA. For the identified sequences, in silico splice variants are generated and these are classified as to whether they might represent pre-miRNAs.

MirCheck – Identify Plant miRNA Genes

MirCheck

:: DESCRIPTION

MIRcheck is a perl script designed to identify RNA sequences with secondary structures similar to plant miRNAs.  It compares a potential miRNA and precursor against a set of secondary structure constraints derived from known plant miRNA precursors.  The potential miRNA and precursor “pass” MIRcheck if all requirements are met, and “fail” MIRcheck if one or more is not.

Peditree 2005 – Plant Pedigree Tree Drawing & Analysis

Peditree 2005

:: DESCRIPTION

PediTree is a software package to recursively analyse plant pedigree data which is arranged in a simple-single table database structure.

Peditree will lookup the parents of a variety/cultivar, then the parents of the parents (grandparents)and so on. The result is displayed in a explorer style, collapsible tree or a pedigree drawing (see images below; click to enlarge).
