Assessing the utility of thermodynamic features for microRNA target prediction under relaxed seed and no conservation requirements.
BACKGROUND: Many computational microRNA target prediction tools are focused on several key features, including complementarity to 5'seed of miRNAs and evolutionary conservation. While these features allow for successful target identification, not all miRNA target sites are conserved and adhere...
