mirsvr

A new regression method for predicting likelihood of target mRNA down-regulation from sequence and structure features in microRNA/mRNA predicted target sites.

MirSVR is a new machine learning method for ranking microRNA target sites by a down-regulation score. The algorithm trains a regression model on sequence and contextual features extracted from miRanda-predicted target sites. In a large-scale evaluation, miRanda-mirSVR is competitive with other target prediction methods in identifying target genes and predicting the extent of their downregulation at the mRNA or protein levels. Importantly, the method identifies a significant number of experimentally determined non-canonical and non-conserved sites.

mirSVR scores are available at www.microRNA.org.
