miRDeep-P2: accurate and fast analysis of the microRNA transcriptome in plants

Two major challenges arise when employing next-generation sequencing methods to comprehensively identify microRNAs (miRNAs) in plants: (i) how to minimize the false-positive inheritable to computational predictions and (ii) how to minimize the computational time required for analyzing the miRNA transcriptome in plants with complex and large genomes.We updated miRDeep-P to miRDeep-P2 (miRDP2) by employing a new filtering strategy and overhauling...
