targetHub

targetHub integrates miRNA-gene interaction data into a CouchDB-backed resource for incorporation into high-throughput genomic analyses.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive Database: Provides an extensive repository of miRNA-gene interaction data.
• RESTful Web Access: Exposes RESTful web services for programmatic querying and retrieval of interaction records.
• Versatile Identifier Support: Accepts a variety of gene and miRNA identifiers to enable compatibility across datasets.

Scientific Applications:

• Integration with High-Throughput Analyses: Enables incorporation of miRNA-gene interaction data into analyses of microarrays and next-generation sequencing datasets.
• Downstream Target Analysis: Supports downstream analysis of miRNA targets to aid interpretation of miRNA-mediated gene regulation in genomic studies.

Methodology:

Implemented as a CouchDB NoSQL database and exposes RESTful web services for programmatic access.
