miRNA databases for plant and animal

Database	Brief Introduction	Organism	Types	Publication Span	Lastest Update	Aviailability	Reference
Rfam	Rfam contains  information about all types of noncoding RNA (ncRNA) families, each  represented by multiple sequence alignments, consensus secondary structures,  etc. Current version includes over 3000 miRNA families in different  organisms.	A, P	I	2003–2018	V14.3 (2020)	http://rfam.xfam.org/	https://academic.oup.com/nar/article/36/suppl_1/D982/2508434
miRBase	miRBase  is the first miRNA registry and the most influential miRNA database, which  collects and accepts miRNA entries from researchers and publications in all  different organisms. Abundant information on miRNAs including community  contribution and curation greatly extends its capacity and influence.	A,  P	I	2003–2019	V22.1  (2018)	http://www.mirbase.org/	https://academic.oup.com/nar/article/47/D1/D155/5179337
ASRP	Arabidopsis Small  RNA Project (ASRP) database is a collection of different type small RNAs, NGS  datasets of sRNAs, PARE and mutants of key genes in small RNA biogenesis  pathway in model plant, Arabidopsis.	P	III	2005–2008	2016	https://asrp.danforthcenter.org/	https://academic.oup.com/nar/article/40/D1/D222/2903277
TarBase	TarBase  is devoted to the indexing of experimentally supported miRNA targets. Current  version holds over 1 million entries corresponding to around 670 000 unique  miRNA-target pair interactions, which are supported by more than 33  experimental methodologies.	A,  P	II	2006–2018	V8  (2018)	http://microrna.gr/tarbase/	https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31647101/
PMRD/PNRD	First version of PMRD  (plant microRNA database) has 8843 miRNAs in 121 plant species while its  updated version, PNRD (Plant Noncoding RNA Database) collected 25 739  noncoding RNA records from 150 plant organisms. Expression profiles and  putative targets are also provided.	P	I	2010–2014	2016	http://bioinformatics.cau.edu.cn/PMRD/	http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkq721
