Local sequence alignment tools such as BLAST are able to identify new members of known miRNA families, but not all of them. We set out to estimate how many new miRNAs could be recovered using a profile-based strategy such as that implemented in the ERPIN program.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: We constructed alignments for 18 miRNA families and performed ERPIN searches on animal genomes. Results were compared to those of a WU-BLAST search at the same E-value cutoff. The two combined approaches produced 265 new miRNA candidates that were not found in miRNA databases. About 17% of hits were ERPIN specific. They showed better structural characteristics than BLAST-specific hits and included interesting candidates such as members of the miR-17 cluster in Tetraodon. Profile-based RNA detection will be an important complement of similarity search programs in the completion of miRNA collections.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0gautheret@esil.univ-mrs.fr<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/bti073","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,10,28]],"date-time":"2004-10-28T00:23:01Z","timestamp":1098922981000},"page":"841-845","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":59,"title":["Profile-based detection of microRNA precursors in animal genomes"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Matthieu","family":"Legendre","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Andr\u00e9","family":"Lambert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Gautheret","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,10,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023013107420564200_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Altschul, S.F., Gish, W., Miller, W., Myers, E.W., Lipman, D.J. 1990Basic local alignment search tool.
