Table 5.

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.
