Many of these approaches rely heavily on conservation of sequence within and between species whereas others emphasize machine-learning methods to screen hairpin candidates for structural features shared with known miRNA precursors. The identification of animal miRNA targets is a particularly difficult problem because an exact match to the target sequence is not required. We discuss the most recently devised algorithms for miRNA and target discovery. We do not discuss plant miRNAs because their varying sizes and structural characteristics pose different problems of identification and target selection. doi Machine-learning approaches to microRNA discovery Methods derived from the machine-learning field have recently been applied to microRNA miRNA discovery with good success. Machine learning depends on the development of algorithms and methods that allow a specific computer program to learn from data already collected on verified miRNAs. These algorithms require a training set for the learning process that consists of positive examples which define
