miRNAminer is a web-based tool
used for homologous miRNA gene
search in several species.
Given a search query, candidate homologs are
identified using
BLAST search and then tested for their known miRNA properties, such as
secondary structure, energy, alignment and conservation, in order to
assess their fidelity. Default parameters are stringent, though these
can
be relaxed. miRNAminer can be used prior to depositing novel miRNAs in
public databases (such as miRbase).
