Normally miRNAs resulted in the cleavage and translation repression by specifically binding the 3'UTR of their target mRNAs in a base pairing form.Accumulating evidence has shown that miRNAs have important molecular functions and play critical roles in almost all biological processes. Therefore, miR-NA-related dysfunctions could be associated with the formation and development of human disease. Bioinformatics aims to provide tools for the research in life sciences. Currently, a number of bioinformatics methods and internet resources have been presented and developed for the investigations of miRNA-disease associations.
