miRanda 1.9 – microRNA Target Detection Software

miRanda 1.9

:: DESCRIPTION

miRanda is an algorithm for finding genomic targets for microRNAs. This algorithm has been written in C and is available as an open-source method under the GPL. miRanda reads RNA sequences (such as microRNAs) from file1 and genomic DNA/RNA sequences from file2. Both of these files should be in FASTA format.

psRNATarget – Plant small RNA Target Analysis Server

psRNATarget

:: DESCRIPTION

psRNATarget is a plant small RNA target analysis server, which features two important analysis functions: 1) reverse complementary matching between miRNA and target transcript using a proven scoring schema, and 2) target site accessibility evaluation by calculating unpaired energy (UPE) required to “open” secondary structure around miRNA’s target site on mRNA.

SVMicrO 20100315 – Mammalian MicroRNA Target Prediction

SVMicrO 20100315

:: DESCRIPTION

SVMicrO is a 2-stage SVM based new miRNA target prediction algorithm. It assumes a 2-stage structure including a site support vector machine (SVM) followed by a UTR-SVM. SMVicrO makes prediction based on 21 optimal site features and 18 optimal UTR features, selected by training from a comprehensive collection of 113 site and 30 UTR features.

CT-Finder / CRISPR-DT – A Web Service for CRISPR Optimal Target Prediction and Visualization

CT-Finder 20160513 / CRISPR-DT

:: DESCRIPTION

CT-Finder is a web service that allows a user to upload DNA sequences, set specifications according to experimental goals, and receive candidate guide RNA targets.

CRISPR-DT is a web application that allows a user to upload DNA sequences, set specifications according to experimental goals, and recieve target candidates. Optimal candidates are suggested through consideration of predicted target efficiency and off-target effect. A visualization of on- and off-target matches against the chosen reference genome is provided in JBrowse.

MotifScan 1.3.0 – Scan input Genomic Regions with known DNA motifs

MotifScan 1.3.0

:: DESCRIPTION

Given a set of input genomic regions, MotifScan scans the sequences to detect the occurrences of known motifs. It can also applies a statistical test on each motif to check whether the motif is significantly over- or under-represented (enriched or depleted) in the input genomic regions compared to another set of control regions.
