Computational methods are required for prediction of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which are involved in many biological processes, especially at post-transcriptional level. Among these ncRNAs, miRNAs have been largely studied and biologists need efficient and fast tools for their identification. In particular, ab initio methods are usually required when predicting novel miRNAs. Here we present a web server dedicated for miRNA precursors identification at a large scale in genomes. It is based on an algorithm called miRNAFold that allows predicting miRNA hairpin structures quickly with high sensitivity. miRNAFold is implemented as a web server with an intuitive and user-friendly interface, as well as a standalone version. The web server is freely available at: http://EvryRNA.ibisc.univ-evry.fr/miRNAFold.

Predicting free energy changes (ΔΔG) is essential for enhancing our understanding of protein evolution and plays a pivotal role in protein engineering and pharmaceutical development. While traditional methods offer valuable insights, they are often constrained by computational speed and reliance on biased training datasets. These constraints become particularly evident when aiming for accurate ΔΔG predictions across a diverse array of protein sequences.
