miRanda is an algorithm for finding genomic targets for microRNAs. This algorithm has been written in C and is available as an open-source method under the GPL. MiRanda was developed at the Computational Biology Center of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. This software will be further developed under the open source model, coordinated by Anton Enright and Chris Sander ( 
).
Although hundreds of miRNAs have been discovered, the functions of these miRNAs are not known. This viewer allows access to the predicted protein coding gene targets. Searching by miRNA will display a ranked list of gene targets and allow you to analyze each conserved target gene/sites in detail. Similarly, searching by gene name/identifier will display the sequence of the three prime UTR and the positions of the miRNA sites along the sequence, allowing you to analyze the target sites in detail.
