Hello Naama Elefant, Please see this previously answered mailing list question regarding download of the PicTar data:
http://www.soe.ucsc.edu/pipermail/genome/2008-April/016246.html Regarding the rfam version used, you can find this information in the paper by Krek /et al./, 2005. You can find the complete reference and other details about the track on the PicTar miRNA track description page. You can get to this page by clicking on the blue/gray bar to the left of the track in the main browser display or by clicking on the title just above the pulldown menu. Hopefully this information was helpful and answers your question. If you have further questions or require clarification feel free to contact the mailing list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Regards, Pauline Fujita UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group http://genome.ucsc.edu Naama Elefant wrote: > Hello, > > > Regarding the miRNA sequences for the Pictar track - are these sequences > available for download, or alternatively, to which rfam version do they > relate? > > Also, I was wondering, as some miRNA names and sequences change across > rfam versions, when this track is updated is the prediction algorithm > re-applied to these miRNAs or are the same targets used only updating > the miRNA names?
