<h4>Motivation</h4>Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are produced from much longer sequences of double-stranded RNA precursors through cleavage by Dicer or a Dicer-like protein. These small RNAs play a key role in genetic and epigenetic regulation; however, a full understanding of the mechanisms by which they operate depends on the characterization of the precursors from which they are derived.<h4>Results</h4>High-throughput sequencing of small RNA populations allows the locations of the double-st ...[more]
