With a user-friendly interface, this software predicts MicroRNA targets in mammals.
TargetScanner is a helpful software tool for those interested in the prediction of mammalian MicroRNA Targets. It is designed as a graphical user interface (GUI) on top of the UNIX targetscan application developed by Lewis et al. This application is specifically designed to predict mammalian MicroRNA Targets, which are very similar to short interference RNAs used in iRNAi for protein messenger RNA degradation. However, microRNA works by suppressing translation instead of inducing degradation.
It is believed that these microRNAs are essential in regulating transcription factors. TargetScanner provides a convenient option to find potential microRNA target sites in the untranslated regions (UTRs) of gene transcripts. Through its intuitive features and easy to use interface, it helps users identify potential target sites with speed and accuracy.
Overall, TargetScanner is a valuable tool for researchers and other professionals working in this field due to its user-friendly and precise nature.
