siDirect 2.0 – Target Specific siRNA online Design Site

siDirect 2.0

:: DESCRIPTION

siDirect is a web server for providing efficient and target-specific siRNA design for mammalian RNAi. In this new version, the siRNA design algorithm has been extensively updated to eliminate off-target silencing effects by reflecting our recent finding that the capability of siRNA to induce off-target effect is highly correlated to the thermodynamic stability of the ‘seed’ duplex.

CleaveLand 4.5 – Find Cleaved Small RNA Targets

CleaveLand 4.5

:: DESCRIPTION

CleaveLand is a command-line executed pipeline for finding cleaved small RNA targets using degradome data (also known as PARE [parallel analysis of RNA ends] and GMUCT [genome-wide mapping of uncapped transcripts]).  Provided with a set of degradome data, a list of small RNA queries, a reference transcriptome/mRNA set, CleaveLand outputs potentially cleaved small RNA targets along with other supporting information.

TargetMiner – microRNA Target Prediction

TargetMiner

:: DESCRIPTION

TargetMiner is a software to find information about microRNA target mRNA. The classifier Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used to classify the test data. The SVM is trained with a set of biologically validated positive (miRNA- target pairs) and newly generated negative examples (miRNA- non target pairs). A set of 90 targeting site context specific features is then extracted from the training examples. From this a set of 30 most favorable features with high F-Score is then selected to train the classifier.
