Tarbase is a database that provides a means of searching through a
comprehensive set of experimentally supported microRNA targets in at least 8
organisms. For every target site that has gained experimental support,
TarBase describes the miRNA which binds it, the binding (alignment) picture,
the kind of inhibition that it induces, its single site sufficiency status,
its genomic location, the types of experiments that were conducted to support
it, and the paper from which all of this data was extracted. Users can also
download the entire contents of the database in the form of a tar file that
will be updated frequently.
TarBase also allows for users to submit newly identified targets in order to
keep the database updated for the microRNA research community. We kindly
request that users submit any recently verified targets using the submission
instructions provided at the submission page. We encourage any comments at
all regarding the interface, search site, or submission site. Please send any
comments or inquiries to praveens@mail.med.upenn.edu.
