Small RNA gene identification and mRNA target predictions in bacteria
Motivation: Bacterial small ribonucleic acids (sRNAs) that are not ribosomal and transfer or messenger RNAs were initially identified in the sixties whereas their molecular functi...

MicroTar: predicting microRNA targets from RNA duplexes
Background: The accurate prediction of a comprehensive set of messenger RNAs (targets) regulated by animal microRNAs (miRNAs) remains an open problem. In particular, the predictio...

A structural analysis of in vitro catalytic activities of hammerhead ribozymes
Background: Ribozymes are small catalytic RNAs that possess the dual functions of sequencespecific RNA recognition and site-specific cleavage. Trans-cleaving ribozymes can inhibit...

A two-step site and mRNA-level model for predicting microRNA targets
Background: Despite experiments showing that the number of microRNA (miRNA) target sites is critical for miRNA targeting, most existing methods focus on identifying individual miR...

HuMiTar: A sequence-based method for prediction of human microRNA targets
Background: MicroRNAs (miRs) are small noncoding RNAs that bind to complementary/partially complementary sites in the 3' untranslated regions of target genes to regulate prot...
