Classification of real and pseudo microRNA precursors using local structure-sequence features and support vector machine.

<h4>Background</h4>MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of short (approximately 22 nt) non-coding RNAs that play important regulatory roles. MiRNA precursors (pre-miRNAs) are characterized by their hairpin structures. However, a large amount of similar hairpins can be folded in many genomes. Almost all cu... View More
