Reliable prediction of Drosha processing sites improves microRNA gene prediction
MOTIVATION Mature microRNAs (miRNAs) are processed from long hairpin transcripts. Even though it is only the first of several steps, the initial Drosha processing defines the mature product and is characteristic for all miRNA genes. Methods that can separate between true and false processing sites are therefore essential to miRNA gene discovery. RESULTS We present a classifier that predicts 5...
متن کاملDrosha in primary microRNA processing.
MicroRNA (miRNA)-mediated gene silencing is one of the major regulatory pathways in eukaryotes. Much effort has been made to identify the factors involved in the pathway, and our understanding of RNA silencing has significantly advanced in recent years. Our group has been working on some of the issues regarding miRNA biogenesis and, in this paper, we summarize what we and other workers in the f...
متن کاملReliable prediction of transcription factor binding sites by phylogenetic verification.
We present a statistical methodology that largely improves the accuracy in computational predictions of transcription factor (TF) binding sites in eukaryote genomes. This method models the cross-species conservation of binding sites without relying on accurate sequence alignment. It can be coupled with any motif-finding algorithm that searches for overrepresented sequence motifs in individual s...
متن کاملSTarMir: a web server for prediction of microRNA binding sites
STarMir web server predicts microRNA (miRNA) binding sites on a target ribonucleic acid (RNA). STarMir is an implementation of logistic prediction models developed with miRNA binding data from crosslinking immunoprecipitation (CLIP) studies (Liu,C., Mallick, B., Long, D., Rennie, W.A., Wolenc, A., Carmack, C.S. and Ding, Y. (2013). CLIP-based prediction of mammalian microRNA binding sites. Nucl...
متن کاملCLIP-based prediction of mammalian microRNA binding sites
Prediction and validation of microRNA (miRNA) targets are essential for understanding functions of miRNAs in gene regulation. Crosslinking immunoprecipitation (CLIP) allows direct identification of a huge number of Argonaute-bound target sequences that contain miRNA binding sites. By analysing data from CLIP studies, we identified a comprehensive list of sequence, thermodynamic and target struc...
