摘要：MicroRNA are 20-24 nt, non-coding, single stranded molecule regulating traits and stress response. Tissue and time specific expression limits its detection, thus is major challenge in their discovery. Wheat has limited 119 miRNAs in MiRBase due to limitation of conservation based methodology where old and new miRNA genes gets excluded. This is due to origin of hexaploid wheat by three successive hybridization, older AA, BB and younger DD subgenome. Species specific miRNA prediction (SMIRP concept) based on 152 thermodynamic features of training dataset using support vector machine learning approach has improved prediction accuracy to 97.7%. This has been implemented in TamiRPred ( http://webtom.cabgrid.res.in/tamirpred ). We also report highest number of putative miRNA genes (4464) of wheat from whole genome sequence populated in database developed in PHP and MySQL. TamiRPred has predicted 2092 (>45.10%) additional miRNA which was not predicted by miRLocator. Predicted miRNAs have been validated by miRBase, small RNA libraries, secondary structure, degradome dataset, star miRNA and binding sites in wheat coding region. This tool can accelerate miRNA polymorphism discovery to be used in wheat trait improvement. Since it predicts chromosome-wise miRNA genes with their respective physical location thus can be transferred using linked SSR markers. This prediction approach can be used as model even in other polyploid crops.
