PhenomiR. The PhenomiR database provides information about differentially regulated miRNA expression in diseases and other biological processes.
The content of PhenomiR is completely generated by manual curation of experienced annotators. Data was extracted from more than 365 scientific articles and resulted in more than 632 database entries as of 02 2011. The design principle of PhenomiR is to use established ontologies and resources. For annotation of diseases we use information of the OMIM Morbid Map, bioprocesses are described with terms from Gene Ontology and for annotation of tissue/cell culture information the Tissue Ontology is used.
