Workshop: miRNA Bioinformatics

 In recent years, thousands of microRNAs (miRNA) have been found in numerous species. To prepare a simple approach to this information, numerous databases for miRNA records have been established. The selection of the correct database can be laborious and prolonged, especially for scientists who do not have experience in this field. To facilitate access to these resources, we have classified the available databases and have described them. This workshop introduces available miRNA databases that will enable researchers with different backgrounds to find suitable miRNA-related bioinformatics web tools and relevant microRNA information rapidly.
