Quo vadis microRNAs?

Fromm, Bastian, Keller, Andreas, Yang, Xiaozeng, Friedlander, Marc R., Peterson, Kevin J., Griffiths-Jones, Sam·2020·Trends in Genetics

Abstract

Since 2002, published miRNAs have been collected and named by the online repository miRBase. However, with 11 000 annual publications this has become challenging. Recently, four specialized miRNA databases were published, addressing particular needs for diverse scientific communities. This development provides major opportunities for the future of miRNA annotation and nomenclature.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • It is unclear what short RNA sequences should legitimately be considered bona fide miRNAs versus some other form of non-miRNA.

    “A second is what short RNA sequences should legitimately be considered bona fide miRNAs versus some other form of non-miRNA that has yet to be accurately characterized [6].”
  • miRGeneDB has clearly established itself as the resource for bona fide miRNAs, while miRBase still includes scores of dubiously identified miRNAs.

    “miRGeneDB has clearly established itself as the resource for bona fide miRNAs, while miRBase still includes scores of dubiously identified miRNAs [6, 14, 16, 31, 32].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
