Predicting microRNA precursors with a generalized Gaussian components based density estimation algorithm

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNA molecules, which play an important role in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. There have been many efforts to discover miRNA precursors (pre-miRNAs) over the years. Recentl...
