miRacle: inspectable microRNA precursor screening
A browser-based research tool that folds human DNA or RNA sequences, ranks precursor-like hairpins, and exposes evidence behind candidates.
- For
- Researchers screening candidate human miRNA precursors
- Worth noticing
- It accepts 55–20,000 nt; DNA and ambiguous input are scanned on both strands, while U-only RNA is scanned as supplied.
Field notes
Inputs can be pasted or loaded as FASTA, with a displayed range of 55–20,000 nucleotides; DNA and ambiguous sequences are scanned on both strands, while U-only RNA is scanned as supplied. Optional CDS masking requires a length-matched hg38/GRCh38 interval and is described as preserving untranslated exonic regions. The page reports a held-out benchmark with precision 0.774, recall 0.889, and PR-AUC 0.912, while explicitly warning that computational resemblance does not establish expression, processing, targets, function, or disease relevance.
