RATEmiRs: The Rat Atlas of Tissue-Specific and Enriched miRNAs Database

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression and have been targeted as indicators of environmental/toxicologic stressors. Using the data from our deep sequencing of miRNAs in an extensive sampling of rat tissues, we developed a database called RATEmiRs for the Rat Atlas of Tissue-specific and Enriched miRNAs to allow users to dynamically determine mature-, iso- and pre-miR expression abundance, enrichment and specificity in rat tissues and organs. RATEmiRs provides a new platform for identification of TE, TS and OS miRNAs in a broad array of rat tissue.
