Update Databases / Add New Databases #45
Comments
Thanks a lot for your upcoming update! |
Thinks,mirWalk? |
Thanks a lot. By the way, Has the database been updated so far? |
Would it be possible to have a status update? |
The good news is that I can spend some time on it now. I received the green light this week. The bad news is that I haven't started yet. I will post an update with an estimated timeline soon. |
Is it possible to download a snapshot of all the data in the database (both before and after the update)? |
@jeremydavisturak The updated database will be a new complete version so the previous versions will all still be available for the purpose of allowing replication of searches and previous results. Any database version can still be used. The R package provides functionality to select the database version for queries. As far as downloading the full database, we will have to discuss it. I know at least one of the miRNA-Target databases had a restriction on allowing downloading data from us directly even thought they granted permission to incorporate it into MultiMiR. I'll add it to the list for discussion with the group. |
Thanks for the great tool, providing a lot of avenues for our lab. Some comments around the entries for "validated" databases:
Would help to make more user-friendly, thanks again for the tool though! |
@mattbcvs Thank you for the feedback. I'm getting started with the update now. So I'll try to keep these in mind. For these issues they are from the original source. I believe they did have a reason for the functional vs functional(weak) interactions. So we don't want to alter the original meaning assigned to those distinctions as we're summarizing them across sources. I do feel as though I could look at the separator issue and try to make everything consistent with this update. I will review each database and see what I can do so everything is slightly more consistent without altering the original data provided by these sources. |
We will start work on updating:
miRTarBase – v7 -> v9
TargetScan – v7.2 -> v8
Are there any databases you would like to request? Please comment.
