Prediction of Conserved Precursors of miRNAs and Their Mature Forms by Integrating Position-Specific Structural Features

MicroRNA (miRNA) precursor hairpins have a unique secondary structure, nucleotide length, and nucleotide content that are in most cases evolutionarily conserved. The aim of this study was to utilize position-specific features of miRNA hairpins to improve their identification. To this end, we defined...
