pre-miRNA

microRNA precursor is a small non-coding RNA that regulates gene expression. Animal microRNAs are transcribed as pri-miRNA (primary miRNA) of varying length which in turns are processed in the nucleus by Drosha into ~70 nucleotide stem-loop precursor called pre-miRNA (preliminary miRNA) and subsequently processed by the Dicer enzyme to give a mature ~22 nucleotide product.

MicroRNAs are a predominant type of small non-coding RNAs approximately 21 nucleotides in length that play an essential role at the post-transcriptional level by either RNA degradation, translational repression or both through an RNA-induced silencing complex. Identification of these molecules can aid the dissecting of their regulatory functions. The secondary structures of plant pre-miRNAs are much more complex than those of animal pre-miRNAs. In contrast to prediction tools for animal pre-miRNAs, much less effort has been contributed to plant pre-miRNAs.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that modulate gene expression transcriptionally (transcriptional activation or inactivation) and/or post-transcriptionally (translation inhibition or degradation of their target mRNAs). This phenomenon has significant roles in growth and developmental processes in plants and animals. Bos taurus is one of the most important livestock animals, having great importance in food and economical sciences and industries.

The computational prediction of novel microRNA within a full genome involves identifying sequences having the highest chance of being a miRNA precursor (pre-miRNA). These sequences are usually named candidates to miRNA. The well-known pre-miRNAs are usually only a few in comparison to the hundreds of thousands of potential candidates to miRNA that have to be analyzed, which makes this task a high classimbalance classification problem.
