30874795	mirtronDB: a mirtron knowledge base. [PMID: 30874795] Bruno Henrique Ribeiro Da Fonseca, Douglas Silva Domingues, Alexandre Rossi Paschoal Abstract MOTIVATION: Mirtrons arise from short introns with atypical cleavage, from the miRNA canonical pathway, by using the splicing mechanism. Several studies describe mirtrons in chordates, invertebrates and plants, but in the current literature, there is no repository centralizing and organizing the data available to the public. To fill this gap, we developed mirtronDB, the first knowledge database dedicated to mirtron, and it is available at http://mirtrondb.cp.utfpr.edu.br/. MirtronDB currently contains a total of 1,407 mirtron precursors and 2,426 mirtron mature sequences in 18 species. RESULTS: Through a user-friendly interface, users can now browse and search mirtrons by organism, organism group, type and name. MirtronDB is a specialized resource that provides free and user-friendly access to knowledge on mirtron data; it is useful to explore mirtrons and their regulations. AVAILABILITY: MirtronDB is available at http://mirtrondb.cp.utfpr.edu.br/. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
