Scores obtained from different bioinformatics databases for the selected miRNA.
| miRNA | Score | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PicTar (Free Energies kcal/mol) | DIANA (miTG score)† | Targetscan (context score)‡ | miRDB (Target score) § | |
| Has-miR-15b | -20.6 | 0.996 | -0.39 | 81 |
| Has-miR-195 | -21.1 | 0.994 | -0.38 | 81 |
MiRNA target gene (miTG score): The prediction score. The higher the miTG score the higher the probability of targeting.
Context score (CS): The context score is the sum of the contribution of site-type contribution, 3' pairing contribution, local AU contribution and position contribution features.
Target score: The higher the score, the more confidence we have in this prediction. Predicted target with prediction score > 80 is most likely to be real. If the score is below 60, you need to be cautious, and it is recommended to have other supporting evidence as well.
