MicroRNA target site predictions from TargetScan v8.0, identifying conserved binding sites across the human transcriptome based on seed sequence complementarity and evolutionary conservation.
Data in this track hub were uniformly downloaded, processed, and harmonized by FILER2. Raw files were obtained from each source repository, converted to BED/bigBed format, lifted to the target genome assembly where necessary, and annotated with standardized metadata including cell type, tissue category, and assay type.
