    3 ComiR ComiR (Combinatorial miRNA targeting) predicts whether a given mRNA is targeted by a set of miRNAs. ComiR uses miRNA expression to improve and combine multiple miRNA targets for each of the four prediction algorithms: miRanda, PITA, TargetScan and mirSVR. The composite scores of the four algorithms are then combined using a support vector machine trained on Drosophila Ago1 IP data. /

Since, the prediction of biologically relevant target is an important criterion for the identification of isomiRs and their targets - isomiR2Function identifies target as well. Following target prediction, it allows for functional enrichment of the identified targets. In parallel, isomiR2Function provides support for the visualization of read mapping on corresponding precursor sequences. /

Overall, target site accessibility appears to be the most predictive feature. Moreover novel feature based on PhyloP, which evaluates the significance of negative selection, is the best performing predictor in the evolutionary category. /

Important parameters, such as maximum mismatches and maximum consecutive mismatches between miRNAs and their targets, were also used for filtering the optimal local alignments. Almost all of the parameters in this alignment tool can be adjusted by users. Target-align can identify multi-target sites as well potential for non-cleaved targets sites by change the default settings. /

    45 TargetScan TargetScan predicts biological targets of miRNAs by searching for the presence of 8mer, 7mer, and 6mer sites that match the seed region of each miRNA. As an option, only conserved sites are predicted. Also identified are sites with mismatches in the seed region that are compensated by conserved 3' pairing and centered sites. In mammals, predictions are ranked based on the predicted efficacy of targeting as calculated using cumulative weighted context++ scores of the sites. As an option, predictions are also ranked by their probability of conserved targeting. TargetScanHuman considers matches to human 3' UTRs and their orthologs, as defined by UCSC whole-genome alignments. Conserved targeting has also been detected within open reading frames (ORFs). Compared to previous releases, Release 7 uses an improved method to predict targeting efficacy (the context++ model), uses 3' UTR profiles that indicate the fraction of mRNA containing each site, and uses updated miRNA families. /

    46 TargetSpy TargetSpy, a novel computational approach for predicting target sites regardless of the presence of a seed match. It is based on machine learning and automatic feature selection using a wide spectrum of compositional, structural, and base pairing features covering current biological knowledge. It does not rely on evolutionary conservation, which allows the detection of species-specific interactions and makes TargetSpy suitable for analyzing unconserved genomic sequences. /

    49 wapRNA wapRNA provides an integrated tool for RNA sequence, refers to the use of High-throughput sequencing technologies to sequence cDNAs in order to get information about a sample's RNA content. wapRNA provides researchers with efficient ways to measure RNA sequence experimentally, allowing them to get information such as how different alleles of a gene are expressed, detect post-transcriptional mutations or identifying gene fusions, annotate the known miRNAs or predict the news and so on.  /
