Hi!

What are some good open-licensed tools for novel miRNA identification from miRNA-Seq files? I've combed trough tools4mirs.org, but I haven't found something that suits my usecase, since most of them are either dependent on miRDeep2, which is licensed, or aren't quite what I need. I need a tool that has the following feartures:

  • can be used for human sequences

  • can identify novel mature miRNA sequences

  • can handle input read that have miRNA-Seq experimental strategy (but tools that can handle input files with other experimental strategies would be useful as well)

  • has a license that allows non-academic use of the tool

  • doesn't require usage of GUI

Thanks,

Nikola

or aren't quite what I need

can you specify a bit more what your specific needs are?

Sorry, I should have been clearer with the question. I need a tool that can do the following:

  • can be used for human sequences

  • can identify novel mature miRNA sequences

  • can handle input read that have miRNA-Seq experimental strategy (but tools that can handle input files with other experimental strategies would be useful as well)

  • has a license that allows non-academic use of the tool

Thanks!

Nikola

Aren't sRNAbench or CAP-miRSEQ suitable?

sRNAbench can't be downloaded from their website as far as I know, they had a server crash from which they didn't recover fully.

CAP-miRSEQ seems to use miRDeep2 for alignment, so I can't use it because of miRDeep's academic-only license.

Link to sRNAbench stand-alone jar:

Thanks! I'll try using sRNAbench then.

miRDeep2 is probably the most common software to perform it.

OP has indicated that that program is not suitable for their purpose due to licensing restrictions.

In the meantime (on October 16, 2018), miRDeep2 authors added the GNU GPL version 3 to the github repository, so it is now compatible with non-academic use.

You can also give miRge2.0 a try.
