Welcome to UMARS:Vir Server
UMARS:Vir The purpose of UMARS:Vir is to identify possible virus genomes from un-mappable NGS reads. In UMARS:Vir, the uploaded NGS reads are subject to mapping to all known virus genomes. Following the mapping procedure, UMARS tabulated detected virus species and expression levels of the detected viruses. Besides, the detected viral genomic regions may locate at intergenic, protein-coding gene, pre-miRNA or other small RNA gene regions according to the annotations of RefSeq 40 and miRBase 14. Viruses were reported to encode viral miRNAs, regulating expression of host genes and playing important roles in host immune mis-function. Therefore, UMARS:Vir may further have option to detect viral miRNAs by a miRNA identification pipeline from viral intergenic genomic regions.
