How do you cite TargetScan?
To reference information from this database, please cite one of the following papers: McGeary SE, Lin KS, Shi CY, Pham T, Bisaria N, Kelley GM, Bartel DP. The biochemical basis of microRNA targeting efficacy.
How does target scan work?
In bioinformatics, TargetScan is a web server that predicts biological targets of microRNAs (miRNAs) by searching for the presence of sites that match the seed region of each miRNA. Compared to other target-prediction tools TargetScan provides accurate rankings of the predicted targets for each miRNA.
What percentage of human Mrnas have binding sites for Mirnas?
Micro-RNA (miRNA or miR) regulates at least 60% of the genes in the human genome through their target sites at mRNA 3′-untranslated regions (UTR), and defects in miRNA expression regulation and target sites are frequently observed in cancers.
What is miRWalk?
miRWalk is an open-source platform providing an intuitive interface that generates predicted and validated miRNA-binding sites of known genes of human, mouse, rat, dog and cow. Moreover, it integrates results other databases with predicted and validated miRNA-target interactions.
How do you use the Target Scan app?
TargetScan App turns your iPhone/iPad into a Target Scoring System. Just take a photo of your paper target and the App will automatically calculate the score!
How do I redeem my Target circle rewards?
In store using the Target app: Go to the Wallet tab, toggle Target Circle earnings “on” and scan your barcode at checkout. You can also apply your balance to an in-store transaction on the Account/Name tab by clicking on Circle to go to your Target Circle dashboard and then selecting Apply.
How is TargetScan used to predict biological targets?
TargetScan predicts biological targets of miRNAs by searching for the presence of conserved 8mer, 7mer, and 6mersites that match the seed regionof each miRNA (Lewis et al., 2005). As an option, predictions with only poorly conserved sites are also provided.
What does broadly conserved mean in miRNA TargetScan?
* broadly conserved = conserved across most vertebrates, usually to zebrafish. conserved = conserved across most mammals, but usually not beyond placental mammals. TargetScan predicts biological targets of miRNAs by searching for the presence of conserved , , and sites that match the of each miRNA (Lewis et al., 2005).
What kind of matches does TargetScanHuman look for?
TargetScanHuman considers matches to human 3′ UTRsand their orthologs, as defined by UCSC whole-genome alignments. Conserved targeting has also been detected within open reading frames (ORFs).
