It has been almost a year since the last miRBase update and according to Sam from miRBase we should see the release of miRBase 20 within this week:
“As you might expect, the extended period since the last release means many new entries — over 3000 new stem-loop sequences, and over 5000 new mature sequences. These additions mostly expand the miRNA sets of species already in the database, rather than adding new species.”

Hi,
Could someone please tell me how many unique mature miRNAs are there in humans as of 2013 ?
Thank you very much
Hi – I meant to write a quick post about the current numbers – thanks for the reminder…
Currently (miRBase 20) there are 2555 unique mature human miRNAs.
Hope this helps!
Christoph
