Identification of conserved stem-loops and evaluation of their quality
The other 21 members of the reference set fell into the top 600 or so in the initial round of scoring, indicating that our method of scoring stem-loops effectively identified genuine miRNAs from among the 118,000 conserved super-regions.
It may be the case that specific sequence requirements become greater when processing imperfect stem-loops characteristic of pre-miRNA, or alternatively, that the non-miRNA-encoding product may in fact have some previously unappreciated function.
In the final set of tests, we implemented a series of Boolean filters to eliminate high-scoring, conserved stem-loops whose patterns of nucleotide divergence are incompatible with a high likelihood of representing genuine miRNAs (Figure 2a, classes 4-6).
Only about one-third of the highest-scoring conserved stem-loops passed these filters (with an even greater fraction of lower-scoring candidates failing these filters), leaving behind around 200 candidates from the initial top 600.
