SUMMARY: Identifying, amongst millions of publications available in MEDLINE,
those that are relevant to specific microRNAs (miRNAs) of interest based on
keyword search faces major obstacles. References to miRNA names in the literature
often deviate from standard nomenclature for various reasons, since even the
official nomenclature evolves. For instance, a single miRNA name may identify two
completely different molecules or two different names may refer to the same
molecule. mirPub is a database with a powerful and intuitive interface, which
facilitates searching for miRNA literature, addressing the aforementioned issues.
To provide effective search services, mirPub applies text mining techniques on
MEDLINE, integrates data from several curated databases and exploits data from
its user community following a crowdsourcing approach. Other key features include
an interactive visualization service that illustrates intuitively the evolution
of miRNA data, tag clouds summarizing the relevance of publications to particular
diseases, cell types or tissues and access to TarBase 6.0 data to oversee genes
related to miRNA publications. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: mirPub is freely
available at http://www.microrna.gr/mirpub/. CONTACT:
