Web-servers
-----------

`TFmiR`_: disease-specific miRNA/transcription factor co-regulatory networks v1.2. It uses results from UP/DOWN regulated miRNA/Genes and allows to focus in only one disease to create different type of relationships between miRNA/TF/Gene. Easy to use. Probably need to filter the output sometime due to the big networks that can result from an analysis. 

`Diana-TarBase v7.0`_: Database for validated miRNA targets. Many filter options. Good for small candidate miRNAs set studies.

`StarScan`_: Database to browse the targets of miRNAs from degradome data. It has a fancy interface, and many species and data from GEO.

`miRtex <http://research.bioinformatics.udel.edu/miRTex/>`_ gives targets from literature. Good for finding validated targets to help discussion in papers or further functional experiment based on new hypothesis.

`piRBase`_: Database for piRNA annotation and function. Published last year, for now the best I can find out there.

`chimira`_: Web tool to analyze isomiR. It gives you a quick idea of you samples.

`MicroCosm`_: MiRNA target database. Updated and download option.

`IsomiR Bank <http://mcg.ustc.edu.cn/bsc/isomir>`_: isomiR database from many species and tissues. For single queries is useful.

`miRVaS <http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2015/09/17/nar.gkv921.full>`_ : tools to predict the functional changed due to nt changes in the miRNA sequence.
