Which builds are stored in this database?

Today, after a big update, we provide information about 6 organism and their genome builds: hg38 for Homo sapiens, mm10 for Mus musculus, rn6 for Rattus norvegicus, crigri1 for Cricetulus griseus, ce11 for Caenorhabditis elegans and dm6 for Drosophila melanogaster.

Which organisms information are available?

Actually we provide information about:
1 Primate: Homo sapiens
3 Rodents: Mus musculus, Rattus norvegicus, Cricetulus griseus
1 Worm: Caenorhabditis elegans
1 Fly: Drosophila melanogaster

How can I browse the data?

The section “Browse” on the above menu, you can find all the piRNAs and related information stored in this database. There are three main options available to explore the piRNAdb database:

  • by piRNA: Display all piRNAs stored on piRNAdb
  • by Dataset: Display all dataset that were used to collect piRNA sequences and informations about the project. Provide a list of piRNAs that is contained on it.
  • by Cluster: Display piRNAs found inside a determined genomic localization by the moving windows methodology. Also provide a list of piRNAs that is contained on it.

Every option provide a filter method to select only the organism that you are interested in.
