Overview
The recent past has seen the rapid identification of thousands of microRNAs
(miRNAs) encoded by various metazoan organisms as well as some viruses, and it
is very likely that many more still await discovery. Most of the hitherto-known miRNAs
have been identified via the cloning and sequencing of small RNAs. While very
powerful, this approach is not without its limitations: especially those miRNAs that
are of low abundance, or which are only expressed in certain cell types or only during
brief periods of organismal development, or are easily missed in cloning-based
screens. Thus, alternative means of miRNA discovery are needed.
Given that the signal that marks the miRNA precursor for the cellular processing
machinery appears to be a relatively simple one (i.e., a hairpin structure), and
considering the rapidly increasing availability of large-scale genomic sequencing
data for many organisms, computational methods appear ideally suited for the comprehensive
identification of hitherto-unknown miRNAs. This chapter discusses the
general principles of computational miRNA identification methods, examines their
advantages and disadvantages as compared to the cloning method, and takes a look
at the various miRNA prediction algorithms that have been developed recently.
1.1 I ntroduction
miRNAs are small (～22 nt) RNA molecules that are able to regulate the expression of
fully or partially complementary mRNA transcripts. As described in greater detail
elsewhere in this book, they are initially transcribed as part of hairpin structures
within much larger precursor transcripts (the so-called primary RNAs or pri-miRNAs).
Following excision of the stem-loops by the RNase III?like enzyme Drosha,
the isolated hairpins (called precursor miRNAs or pre-miRNAs) are exported to
the cytoplasm and further processed by the Dicer complex to produce the mature,
single-stranded miRNA molecule. Recent evidence suggests that plants and animals
encode a multitude of miRNAs, many of which are evolutionarily conserved. As of
this writing, it is still true that the majority of known miRNAs have been identified
experimentally, that is, by cloning of small RNAs. However, this method has certain
limitations, and alternative means for the prediction of novel miRNAs are therefore
increasingly sought.
The observation that pre-miRNAs form characteristic stem-loops has spurred the
development of a number of computational approaches designed to identify novel
miRNA candidates based on the prediction and analysis of secondary structures.
Given the already complete or near-complete sequencing of whole genomes from
many species, such approaches hold great promise for identifying the full complement
of miRNAs encoded by a given organism. However, because the precise set of
structural features that differentiate a pre-miRNA stem-loop from the large number
of hairpins in the genome is not known, additional filters have to be employed to
reduce the number of false-positive predictions, and experimental confirmation of
the remaining candidates is required. In this chapter, I will compare the benefits
and disadvantages of computational miRNA prediction methods in comparison to
the cloning method, review principles of the existing miRNA prediction algorithms,
discuss the general challenges and pitfalls of in silico miRNA identification, and
provide an outlook of what might be expected from these approaches in the future.
Finally, I will consider a special application of the miRNA prediction problem: the
identification of miRNAs in viral genomes.
1.2 W hen is a small RNA an miRNA ?
In order to devise approaches designed to identify miRNAs, be they experimental
or computational, it is important to clearly define what an miRNA is. In a biological
sense, such a definition is quite straightforward: an miRNA is simply a small,
single-stranded regulatory RNA molecule that is generated from its precursor molecules
via successive processing by Drosha and Dicer. It is much more difficult,
however, to define practicable criteria that are readily testable on an experimental
or computational basis and that can unequivocally identify a candidate sequence as
a genuine miRNA. Following the realization that miRNAs represent abundant molecules
expressed in a wide variety of organisms, a consortium of researchers agreed
on a set of criteria that have to be fulfilled before a candidate can be called a bona
fide miRNA.1 According to these guidelines, it is necessary to provide evidence that
(1) the candidate sequence is expressed as an appropriately sized RNA molecule in
living cells and, furthermore, does not stem from random degradation (Expression
criteria), and (2) that the maturation of the candidate involves processing by Drosha
and Dicer (Biogenesis criteria). The expression criteria are preferentially satisfied by
detection of a distinct band of approximately 22 nt on a Northern blot. Alternatively,
the ability to detect the molecule in a library of cloned, size-selected RNAs is considered
sufficient evidence, especially if the library contains high copy numbers of
the particular candidate sequence.
To satisfy the biogenesis criteria, the guidelines by Ambros et al.1 call for experimental
proof of Dicer processing by demonstrating that increased levels of the precursor
accumulate in cells with decreased Dicer expression. In contrast, experimental
proof of Drosha processing is generally not required; instead, it is sufficient to show
that the putative precursor transcript has the capacity to adopt a secondary structure
