Improved and Promising Identification of Human MicroRNAs by Incorporating a H…

Abstract—MicroRNA (miRNA) plays an important role as a regulator in biological processes. Identification of (pre-) miRNAs helps in understanding regulatory processes. Machine learning methods have been designed for pre-miRNA identification. However, most of them cannot provide reliable predictive performances on independent testing data sets. We assumed this is because the training sets, espe…
