WMD version 3 is now officially released at wmd3.weigelworld.org. Over 100 plants are available for amiRNA design using released transcripts or EST databases. Other new features include amiRNAs against non annotated transcripts, "acceptable off-targets" and a blast against the transcripts in the plant databases to identify redundant entries and thus determine acceptable off-targets. In addition we improved the amiRNA design algorithm, in particular hybridization energy calculation and ranking of results. Therefor please do not use WMD version 1 anymore to design new amiRNAs for A.thaliana. (We will still maintain the old versions in case you have to check previous results.)
