Figure 3From: Filtering of false positive microRNA candidates by a clustering-based approachOverview of the clustering-based approach. In principle, our clustering-based approach consists of two stages. In stage 1, a currently available prediction program, for example ProMirII-g, is selected to produce a list of potential candidates. A loose threshold is used because we want to include as many TPs as possible to achieve a high SE. In stage 2, we aim at filtering the FPs from the list of candidates by picking out the dissimilar pairs as determined by the RNAdistance scores.Back to article page
