MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous short noncoding RNAs that regulate
gene expression by targeting messenger RNAs (mRNAs), which results in
translational repression and/or mRNA degradation. As regulatory molecules, miRNAs
are involved in many mammalian biological processes and also in the manifestation
of certain human diseases. As miRNAs play central role in the regulation of gene
expression, understanding miRNA-binding patterns is essential to gain an insight
of miRNA mediated gene regulation and also holds promise for therapeutic
applications. Computational prediction of miRNA binding sites on target mRNAs
facilitates experimental investigation of miRNA functions. This chapter provides
protocols for using the STarMir web server for improved predictions of miRNA
binding sites on a target mRNA. As an application module of the Sfold RNA
package, the current version of STarMir is an implementation of logistic
prediction models developed with high-throughput miRNA binding data from
cross-linking immunoprecipitation (CLIP) studies. The models incorporated
comprehensive thermodynamic, structural, and sequence features, and were found to
make improved predictions of both seed and seedless sites, in comparison to the
established algorithms (Liu et al., Nucleic Acids Res 41:e138, 2013). Their broad
applicability was indicated by their good performance in cross-species
validation. STarMir is freely available at
