miRPara4.2 is just released.
Updates:
- fixed bug [uninitialized value $loop in lc at miRPara.pl line 813.]
- optimized the UNAFold.pl & ct2out checking
- multicore support (beta)

Further updates will be focus on:
- Customer model training: we will release a script to train miRPara model based on customer sequences. e.g. human specific miRNAs can been used as input and trained a human specific model to predict known and novel human miRNAs.
- Support for novel miRNA prediction from deep sequencing data: The miRPara will firstly add two 100-nt flanking sequences to both side of short sequence. Then predict the best secondary structure with lowest MFE and report miRNA candidates based on provided model.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any problem in installing or using miRPara. You can also leave a comment in our facebook or google project page.
