Mining small RNA structure elements in untranslated regions of human and mouse mRNAs using structure-based alignment

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>UnTranslated Regions (UTRs) of mRNAs contain regulatory elements for various aspects of mRNA metabolism, such as mRNA localization, translation, and mRNA stability. Several RNA stem-loop structures in UTRs have been experimentally id...
