The Homo sapiens miR-611 stem-loop structure. The RNA sequence and its corresponding secondary structure sequence predicted by RNAfold [43] are shown. In the secondary structure sequence, each nucleotide has two states, "paired" or "unpaired", indicated by brackets and dots, respectively. A left bracket "(" indicates a paired nucleotide located at the 5' strand that would form a pair with another nucleotide at the 3' strand with a right bracket ")". The hairpin length of this sample pre-miRNA is 25+8+25 = 58. Its loop length is 8 and has 8 consecutive base pairs.
