miRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecule that help in regulating gene expression. As miRNAs (host/viral) plays an important role in viral infection (Gottwein, 2013). We have developed a AntiVIRmiR computational resource that includes data for host/virus miRNA during the viral infection. AntiVIRmiR database is divided into four sections encompassing 22,741 records viz. DEmiRVIR, AntiVmiR, VIRmiRNA2, and VIRmiRTar2. ‘DEmiRVIR’ section has the data for host/viral miRNAs that are differentially expressed and are obtained using high-throughput methods. This section includes 10,033 differentially expressed host/viral miRNAs for 21 viruses. ‘AntiVmiR’ section incorporates 1642 entries for host miRNAs that show antiviral as well as proviral activity for 34 viruses. ‘VIRmiRNA2’ section includes 3340 entries for experimentally validated viral miRNAs obtained from 52 viruses. ‘VIRmiRTar2’ has 7726 experimentally validated targets for viral miRNAs against 21 viruses. The database has different options to explore miRNA entries for different viral diseases in the search page. Further, to make database more friendly we have incorporated hyperlink to external repositories for different sub-categories of "AntiVIRmiR".
