Welcome to the human and mouse small noncoding RNA tissue atlas
We present a small noncoding RNA tissue atlas by determining the RNA expression for nine different types of sncRNAs for publicly available data and data sequenced by The Chair for Clinical Bioinformatics. The database is in its 3rd iteration. Please see the table on the right for the number of samples, organs and tissues included in the latest version and comparisons to the previous version.
This website is free and open to all users and there is no login requirement.

News
2024-07-01: Shift from version 2 to version 3 of the mirnatissueatlas, offering exponentially more samples, organ systems and tissues to chose from. Data from version 2 is also accessible.
2022-07-23: We updated the annotation of human tissue samples. Please ensure that you download the newest release of the tissue atlas. We appreciate the support of the Halushka Lab.
