The block diagram of SVMicrO. SVMicrO includes three steps. First, a site filter is applied to find the potential binding sites of the probing miRNA. Second step, Site-SVM extracts features from each potential site and assigns a score to indicate the prediction confidence of the site as a true site. Final step, the site scores together with other UTR features are considered by the UTR-SVM to produce the final prediction of the UTR as a target.
