G-MicroRNA: A New Tool for MicroRNA Genomics

With the post-genome era coming, it is interesting to establish a new bioinformatics database, further integrate related information of the sequences and develop new methods to reveal the mechanism of life based on databases of sequence. We have built a professional bioinformatics database of non-coding miRNA named G-microRNA by means of PHP, MYSQL and so on. The database integrates more than 2,000 miRNA sequences including several model organisms-human, arabidopsis thaliana and virus. The pre-calculated Z curves and characteristics of each sequence are displayed in the database. Simultaneously, we have improved analytic softwares, selected famous predicting tools and hundreds of outstanding references, and shared our database in the internet. The construction of the database will provide much useful information and operation platform for bioinformatics further research.
