The miRBase database is an archive of microRNA sequences.^{[1][2][3][4][5]} As of September 2010 it contained information about 15,172 microRNAs.^[1] The miRBase registry provides a centralised system for assigning new names to microRNA genes.^{[citation needed]}

miRBase grew from the microRNA registry resource set up by Sam Griffiths-Jones in 2003.^[6]
