Flash Report: miRdSNP, a database of disease-associated SNPs and microRNA target sites on 3'UTRs of human genes

miRdSNP is a database of manually curated disease-associated SNPs (dSNPs) on the 3’UTRs of human genes. "miRdSNP annotates genes with experimentally confirmed targeting by miRNAs and indexes miRNA target sites predicted by TargetScan and PicTar as well as potential miRNA target sites newly generated by dSNPs. A robust web interface and search tools are provided for studying the proximity of miRNA binding sites to dSNPs in relation to human diseases."
An article describing miRdSNP has been published on the latest issue of BMC Genomics.
