Figure 2From: A framework for automated enrichment of functionally significant inverted repeats in whole genomesirScan's IR detector emulates a secondary structure predictor. The variant of the Smith-Waterman algorithm used by irScan's IR detector generates this dot-bracket notation of the secondary structure when used on a known Arabidopsis precursor [miRBase:MI0008304]. The inverted repeats form 25 base pairs of which two are weaker G-U matches surrounded by matches.Back to article page
