Plant Comparative Genomics

Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology ((MIMB,volume 2512))

Abstract

We present miRkwood, a comprehensive software tool developed to identify microRNAs and their precursor in plant genomes, with or without small-RNA-seq sequencing data. We describe how to install the software, how to set up and run it, and how to explore and analyse the results: genomic annotations, secondary structure of the precursor, alignments, reads distribution.
