On the performance of pre-microRNA detection algorithms

As the experimental discovery of microRNAs (miRNAs) is cumbersome, computational tools have been developed for the prediction of pre-miRNAs. Here the authors develop a framework to assess the performance of existing and novel pre-miRNA prediction tools and provide guidelines for selecting an appropr...
