StarSeeker: an automated tool for mature duplex microRNA sequence identification based on secondary structure modeling of precursor molecule

Abstract Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules that play a key role in gene regulation in both plants and animals. MicroRNA biogenesis involves the enzymatic processing of a primary RNA transcript. The final step is the production of a duplex molecule, often designated as...
