MicroRNA discovery by similarity search to a database of RNA-seq profiles

In silico generated search for microRNAs (miRNAs) has been driven by methods compiling structural features of the miRNA precursor hairpin, as well as to some degree combining this with the analysis of RNA-seq profiles for which the miRNA typically leave the drosha/dicer fingerprint of 1–2 ~22 nt blo...
