Abstract [en]

RNA sequencing data sets rapidly increase in quantity. For microRNAs (miRNAs), frequently dozens to hundreds of billion reads are generated per study. The quantification of annotated miRNAs and the prediction of new miRNAs are leading computational tasks. Now, the increased depth of coverage allows to gain deeper insights into the variability of miRNAs. The analysis of isoforms of miRNAs (isomiRs) is a trending topic, and a range of computational tools for the analysis of isomiRs has been developed. We provide an overview on 27 available computational solutions for the analysis of isomiRs. These include both stand-alone programs (17 tools) and web-based solutions (10 tools) and span a publication time range from 2010 to 2020. Seven of the tools were published in 2019 and 2020, confirming the rising importance of the topic. While most of the analyzed tools work for a broad range of organisms or are completely independent of a reference organism, several tools have been tailored for the analysis of human miRNA data or for plants. While 14 of the tools are general analysis tools of miRNAs, and isomiR analysis is one of their features, the remaining 13 tools have specifically been developed for isomiR analysis. A direct comparison on 20 deep sequencing data sets for selected tools provides insights into the heterogeneity of results. With our work, we provide users a comprehensive overview on the landscape of isomiR analysis tools and in that support the selection of the most appropriate tool for their respective research task.
