piRNA cluster database

Database version: 2016

RNA Type: piRNA

Overview: piRNA cluster database is the first database that focuses on genomic piRNA clusters as a biological source of piRNAs rather than piRNA sequences itself. Moreover, the algorithm that was used for piRNA cluster prediction was recently used to annotate piRNA clusters in many different species

Search Methods:

• Tabular: Browse piRNAs according to each one of the 12 species

Source: SRA, sRNAmapper, reallocate, miRBase, proTRAC, RepeatMasker

Information Source: In silico annotation.

Information Content: .
