Before revision: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNA molecules composed of 19-22 nt playing important regulatory roles in post-transcriptional gene regulation by inhibiting the translation of the mRNA into proteins or otherwise cleaving the target mRNA. Inferring miRNA targets provides useful information for understanding the roles of miRNA involving in biological processes which may result in diagnosing complex diseases.
