Model | Description | Attributes | Relationships |
|---|---|---|---|
Precursor | The miRNA precursor, processed from longer primary transcripts by endonucleases. | name, accession, description, sequence, comment | Mature,GenomeContext, GenomePosition, Paper, PrecursorCluster, Species, PrecursorFamily |
Mature | The mature miRNA, processed from the miRNA precursor by Dicer. | name, accession, evidence, experiment, similarity, sequence | Precursor, SeedFamily |
Species | The taxonomic species having miRNAs encoded in the genome. | abbreviation, name, division, taxonomy, genome_assembly | Precursor |
PrecursorFamily | The miRBase grouping of precursors into families. | name, accession, description | Precursor |
GenomeContext | Other gene models overlapping the miRNA precursor in genome. | overlap_sense, overlap_type, transcript_source, transcript_name | Precursor |
GenomePosition | The position of the miRNA precursor in the genome. | xsome, contig_start, contig_end, strand | Precursor |
PrecursorCluster (*) | A grouping of precursors occurring close to each other in the genome - presumably transcribed together. | Name | Precursor |
SeedFamily (*) | A grouping of mature miRNAs based on the 6mer seed (bases 2-7) or 7mer seed (bases 2-8). | name, sequence | Mature |
Paper | Papers related to the annotation and identification of a miRNA as reported in miRBase. | medline, title, author, journal | Precursor |
