Optimize ncRNA Targeting: A Signal Analysis Based Approach

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are ribonucleic acids capable to control different genetic and metabolic functions. Digital signal processing (DSP) has been widely applied for analyze DNA sequences. Herein we present a DSP application to filter out the most probable binding site of ncRNAs applied to a miRNA binding site recognition.
