I apologize for asking again the same question I asked some months ago.
The reason is that  a question has been raised recently by people I work with.
The question stemmed from the double meaning of the word "validated" with reference to miRNAs.
Some time ago I downloaded the Fasta files "mature.fa" and "matureStart.fa" (the latter cannot be
found any more).  
I meant to get miRNAs that have been experimentally validated against (binding to) some gene targets.
I  used the dat set "hsTargets" avaiilable with Bioconductor to find the matching miRNA-terget pairs.

The question arisen is: "are the nmiRNAs I got just predicted by some code (miRanda or the like) or have they been experimentally validated" ?

I would appreciate your comments.

Thank you in advance
Maura
