The MinoTar tool can be used to find putative microRNA targets in ORFs (fly or human genes). It was developed as a collaboration between the Perrimon group and the Berger lab at MIT.

Targets for microRNAs in ORFs? Yes, that's right. Read about it here: Schnall-Levin M, Zhao Y, Perrimon N, Berger B. Conserved microRNA targeting in Drosophila is as widespread in coding regions as in 3'UTRs. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2010 Sep 7;107(36):15751-6.
