Genome Release Data

The table below provides information about the genome releases used for each organism in the miRGen Genomics interface. The Genomics interface uses miRNA genomic location data from Sanger miRBase, and genome annotation data from the UCSC annotation database; we seek to include every eukaryotic organism for which compatible release data is available. (Note: If UCSC provides a more recent genome release, miRNA coordinates from miRBase are migrated up to the newer release using UCSC's liftOver facility.)

All releases used by miRGen will be reviewed and updated quarterly.
