description: The "expected miRNA* extremities" are the extremities described in miRBase ( http://microrna.sanger.ac.uk/sequences/ ) for the few miRNA*s which have been experimentally validated; for the others, the miRNA sequence (as annotated in miRBAse) was used to infer the sequence of the corresponding miRNA* (this is called "conceptual dicing"). All these annotations were based on the latest release of miRBase (release 10.0, August 2007).
