The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute has recently introduced the latest version of the miRBase online database of published microRNA sequences and associated annotation.
The database now contains 6,396 entries representing hairpin precursor miRNAs, expressing 6,211 mature miRNA products, in primates, rodents, birds, fish, worms, flies, plants, and viruses, according to the institute.
Febit announced this week that it has released a new Geniom miRNA biochip based on the newest version of the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute’s miRBase database of miRNA sequences.
