The predicted miRNA functions are accessible in the miRNA bodymap. Predicted miRNA functions were either validated experimentally or compared to published data. Functional miRNA annotations based on target prediction. Using the miRNA2function tool, predicted miRNA functions for your miRNA of choice can be retrieved. The function2miRNA tool works the other way around and allows users to select a function of interest and retrieve miRNAs associated with it. |

FAME use computational target predictions in order to automatically infer the processes affected by human miRNAs. Our approach improves upon standard statistical tools by addressing specific characteristics of miRNA regulation. Our analysis is based on a novel compendium of experimentally verified miRNA-pathway and miRNA-process associations that we constructed, which can be a useful resource by itself. Our method also predicts novel miRNA-regulated pathways, refines the annotation of miRNAs for which only crude functions are known, and assigns differential functions to miRNAs with closely related sequences. |

GOmir is a novel stand-alone application consisting of two separate tools: JTarget and TAGGO. JTarget integrates miRNA target prediction and functional analysis by combining the predicted target genes from TargetScan, miRanda, RNAhybrid and PicTar computational tools as well as the experimentally supported targets from TarBase and also providing a full gene description and functional analysis for each target gene. On the other hand, TAGGO application is designed to automatically group gene ontology annotations, taking advantage of the Gene Ontology (GO), in order to extract the main attributes of sets of proteins. |

miRGator v3.0 compiled the deep sequencing miRNA data available in public and implemented several novel tools to facilitate exploration of massive data. miRNA–target relation is essential for understanding miRNA function. Coexpression analysis of miRNA and target mRNAs, based on miRNA-seq and RNA-seq data from the same sample, is visualized in the heat-map and network views where users can investigate the inverse correlation of gene expression and target relations, compiled from various databases of predicted and validated targets. |

miRò is a web-based knowledge base that provides users with miRNA-phenotype associations in humans. It integrates data from various online sources, such as databases of miRNAs, ontologies, diseases and targets, into a unified database equipped with an intuitive and flexible query interface and data mining facilities. The main goal of miRò analysis through sophisticated mining techniques and the introduction of a new layer of associations between genes and phenotypes inferred based on miRNAs annotations. |

MISIM infers the pairwise functional similarity and functional network for human miRNAs based on the structures of their disease relationships. Comparisons showed that the calculated miRNA functional similarity is well associated with prior knowledge of miRNA functional relationship. More importantly, this method can also be used to predict novel miRNA biomarkers and to infer novel potential functions or associated diseases for miRNAs. In addition, this method can be easily extended to other species when sufficient miRNA-associated disease data are available for specific species. |
Generation of a miRNA functional network |
"TAM can efficiently identify meaningful categories for given miRNAs and can be used to identify novel miRNA biomarkers. TAM integrated miRNAs into various meaningful categories according to prior knowledge, such as miRNA family, miRNA cluster, miRNA function, miRNA associated diseases, and tissue specificity. Using TAM, given lists of miRNAs can be rapidly annotated and summarized according to the integrated miRNA categorical data. Moreover, given a list of miRNAs, TAM can be used to predict novel related miRNAs. |

miR2GO web server is to provide a computational tool for the assessment of functional impacts of genetic and somatic mutations in miRNAs. The first function of this web server, miRmut2GO, allows users to analyze the changes of target genes caused by miRNA mutations and view the functional impacts of these changes in a gene ontology graph. This web server can also be used for analyzing the differences and similarities between the functions of different miRNAs. Different miRNAs perform different functions because they bind to different sets of target genes. The second function of the web server, miRpair2GO, allows users to perform comparative gene ontology analysis for the target gene sets of different miRNAs. |
