MiRAFinder and GeneAFinder scripts: large-scale searching for miRNA and related information in indexed literature abstracts.

ABSTRACT:

Unlabelled

In recent times, information on miRNAs and their binding sites is gaining momentum. Therefore, there is interest in the development of tools extracting miRNA related information from known literature. Hence, we describe GeneAFinder and miRAFinder scripts (open source) developed using python programming for the semi-automatic extraction and arrangement of updated information on miRNAs, genes and additional data from published article abstracts in PubMed. The scripts are suitable for custom modification as per requirement.
