October 8th, 2009 - Plant MicroRNA Database Content - Now Available

LC Sciences now has standard arrays available for all species listed in the newly created Plant MicroRNA Database (PMRD). 

The plant miRNA database (PMRD) integrates available plant miRNA data deposited in public databases, gleaned from the recent literature, and data generated by the database organizers. This database contains sequence information, secondary structure, target genes, expression profiles and a genome browser.

In total, there are 8433 miRNAs collected from 121 plant species in PMRD, including model plants and major crops such as Arabidopsis, rice, wheat, soybean, maize, sorghum, barley, etc in this first edition of the database.

In addition, miRNA expression profiles are provided in the PMRD, including some data generated with previous versions of  LC Sciences’ Plants microRNA Microarray.

This plant probe content is immediately available on all of our standard or custom microRNA microarrays. Please call if you don't see your species of interest.

About PMRD
The Plant MicroRNA Database (PMRD)¹ provides a searchable online repository for plant microRNA sequence information, secondary structure, target genes, expression profiles and a genome browser. The PMRD database was constructed by open source technology utilizing a user-friendly web interface, and multiple search tools. The PMRD is freely available at http://bioinformatics.cau.edu.cn/PMRD.
