Improved Pre-miRNAs Identification Through Mutual Information of Pre-miRNA Sequences and Structures

Playing critical roles as post-transcriptional regulators, microRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of short non-coding RNAs that are derived from longer transcripts called precursor miRNAs (pre-miRNAs). Experimental methods to identify pre-miRNAs are expensive and time-consuming, which presents the need for...
