  Background: Motivation: Containing about 22 nucleotides, a microRNA (abbrevi-ated miRNA) is a small non-coding RNA molecule, functioning in transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression.The human genome may encode over 1000 miRNAs.Albeit poorly characterized, miRNAs are widely deemed as important regulators of biological processes.Aberrant expression of miRNAs has been observed in many cancers and other disease states, indicating they are deeply implicated with these diseases, particularly in carcinogenesis.Therefore, it is important for both basic research and miRNA-based therapy to discriminate the real pre-miRNAs from the false ones (such as hairpin sequences with similar stem-loops).Particularly, with the avalanche of RNA sequences generated in the postgenomic age, it is highly desired to develop computational sequence-based methods in this regard.
