Summary: Web server for microRNA profiling and discovery based on high-throughput sequencing

"Error: no local variable "counter" was set." is not a number.

A comprehensive web server mirTools was developed to allow researchers to comprehensive characterizes the small RNA transcriptome. With the aid of mirTools, it can: 1) Align the large-scale short reads to the reference genome and exhibit the length distribution; 2) Classify of the large-scale short reads into known categories, such as known miRNAs, non-coding RNA, genomic repeats or coding sequences; 3) Provide detailed annotation information of known miRNAs, such as miRNA/miRNA*, absolute/relative reads count and the most abundant tag; 4) Discovery of the novel miRNAs that have not been characterized before from the large-scale short reads; 5) Identify of the differentially expressed miRNAs between samples according to different count strategies, such as total read tag counts and the most abundant tag of specific miRNA.
