Plant microRNA-Target Interaction Identification Model Based on the Integration of Prediction Tools and Support Vector Machine

摘要

BackgroundConfident identification of microRNA-target interactions is significant for studying the function of microRNA (miRNA). Although some computational miRNA target prediction methods have been proposed for plants, results of various methods tend to be inconsistent and usually lead to more false positive. To address these issues, we developed an integrated model for identifying plant miRNA–target interactions.
