sRNATarBase 3.0: an updated database for sRNA-target interactions in bacteria

Abstract

Bacterial sRNAs are a class of small regulatory RNAs of about 40–500 nt in length; they play multiple bi-ological roles through binding to their target mR-NAs or proteins. Therefore, elucidating sRNA tar-gets is very important. However, only targets of a few sRNAs have been described. To facilitate sRNA functional studies such as developing sRNA tar-get prediction models, we updated the sRNATarBase database, which was initially developed in 2010. The new version (recently moved t
