What is miRTrail?

miRTrail is a web-based application to analyse the interactions between miRNAs and predicated target genes via their transcripts (mRNAs). In that respect, different aspects are of interest:

• Analysis of dependance of the deregulation
• Significant overlap between predicted and actual mRNAs
• ORA of different mRNA sets (predicted targets, deregulated predicted targets, actually deregulated transcripts)
• Overlap between the respective, significant categories
• Network analysis (visual and computational)
  • Individual miRNAs
  • miRNA families

The Overrepresentation Analyses are preformed using the versatile gene set enrichment analysis tool GeneTrail.
