This chapter presents procedures for the computational identification of plant miRNA genes. In the first procedure, homologs of known miRNAs are identified in a database of genomic or cDNA sequence. In the second procedure, previously unidentified miRNA families are predicted through the analysis of secondary structure, evolutionary conservation, and targeting potential.
