Why miRNA-ProtPred?
miRNA-ProtPred predicts the human miRNAs that have potential to inhibit the expression of gene/protein of different pathogens.
Most techniques predict miRNA against human proteins; however, miRNA-ProtPred is the first online server to predict human miRNA against 3’UTR, protein, RNA, or DNA of human pathogens.
Why miRNA?
- • It plays an important role in gene regulation and protein expression.
- • During pathogenic infection, the miRNA of the human host can bind with 3’ UTR of mRNA of pathogen and can inhibit the gene/protein expression and ultimately helps in disease control.
- • The FDA has not yet approved any miRNA-based therapeutics (as of 2023). However, some miRNA mimics are under different phases of clinical trials.
