MicroRNAs (miRNA) are short noncoding RNAs that can repress the expression of protein-coding messenger RNAs (mRNAs) by binding to the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of the target. Genetic mutations such as single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in the 3'-UTR of the mRNAs can disrupt miRNA regulation. In this study, we presented dbMTS, a database for miRNA target site (MTS) SNVs and their functional annotations. This database can help studies easily identify putative SNVs that affect miRNA targeting and facilitate the prioritization of their functional importance. dbMTS is freely available for academic use at http://database.liulab.science/dbMTS as a web service or a downloadable attached database of dbNSFP.
微小 RNA(miRNA)是短的非编码 RNA,可以通过与靶标 mRNA 的 3'非翻译区(UTR)结合来抑制蛋白质编码信使 RNA(mRNA)的表达。mRNA 的 3'UTR 中的遗传突变,如单核苷酸变异(SNV),可以破坏 miRNA 的调控。在这项研究中,我们提出了 dbMTS,这是一个 miRNA 靶位点(MTS)SNV 及其功能注释的数据库。该数据库可以帮助研究人员轻松识别可能影响 miRNA 靶向的 SNV,并有助于确定其功能重要性的优先级。dbMTS 可在 http://database.liulab.science/dbMTS 上免费供学术使用,作为一个网络服务或 dbNSFP 的可下载附加数据库。
