The cell-specific information of transcriptional regulation on microRNAs (miRNAs) is crucial to the precise understanding of gene regulations in various physiological and pathological processes existed in different tissues and cell types. The database, mirTrans, provides comprehensive information about cell-specific transcription of miRNAs including the transcriptional start sites (TSSs) of miRNAs, transcription factor (TF) to miRNA regulations and miRNA promoter sequences. mirTrans also maps the experimental H3K4me3 and DHS (DNase-I hypersensitive site) marks within miRNA promoters and expressed sequence tags (ESTs) within transcribed regions. The current version of database covers 35 259 TSSs and over 2.3 million TF-miRNA regulations for 1513 miRNAs in a total of 54 human cell lines. These cell lines span most of the biological systems, including circulatory system, digestive system and nervous system. Information for both the intragenic miRNAs and intergenic miRNAs is offered. Particularly, the quality of miRNA TSSs and TF-miRNA regulations is evaluated by literature curation. 23 447 TSS records and 2148 TF-miRNA regulations are supported by special experiments as a result of literature curation. EST coverage is also used to evaluate the accuracy of miRNA TSSs. Interface of mirTrans is friendly designed and convenient to make downloads (http://mcube.nju.edu.cn/jwang/lab/soft/mirtrans/ or http://120.27.239.192/mirtrans/).
miRNA 转录调控的细胞特异性信息对于精确理解不同组织和细胞类型中存在的各种生理和病理过程中的基因调控至关重要。mirTrans 数据库提供了有关 miRNA 细胞特异性转录的综合信息,包括 miRNA 的转录起始位点(TSS)、转录因子(TF)到 miRNA 的调控以及 miRNA 启动子序列。mirTrans 还绘制了 miRNA 启动子内的实验 H3K4me3 和 DHS(DNase-I 超敏位点)标记以及转录区域内的表达序列标签(EST)。该数据库的当前版本涵盖了 54 个人类细胞系中 1513 个 miRNA 的 35259 个 TSS 和超过 230 万个 TF-miRNA 调控。这些细胞系涵盖了大多数生物系统,包括循环系统、消化系统和神经系统。提供了内含子 miRNA 和基因间 miRNA 的信息。特别是,miRNA TSS 和 TF-miRNA 调控的质量通过文献整理进行评估。由于文献整理,有 23447 个 TSS 记录和 2148 个 TF-miRNA 调控得到了特殊实验的支持。EST 覆盖度也用于评估 miRNA TSS 的准确性。mirTrans 的界面设计友好,便于下载(http://mcube.nju.edu.cn/jwang/lab/soft/mirtrans/ 或 http://120.27.239.192/mirtrans/)。
