What is miRBase database? The miRBase database is a searchable database of published miRNA sequences and annotation. Each entry in the miRBase Sequence database represents a predicted hairpin portion of a miRNA transcript (termed mir in the database), with information on the location and sequence of the mature miRNA sequence (termed miR). How many miRNAs are in miRBase? How many species have miRNA information deposited in miRBase? The latest release of miRBase, release 21 (June 2014), contains miRNA sequence information from 223 species. These species can be browsed through via the 'Browse' tab at the top of the page. How...
