May 20, 2008: Since October 10 2006, the rna22 server has processed 820,000 target detection requests. Thank you for your support!

This instance of rna22 has been trained using the sequences in Rel. 7.1 of RFAM

Input single microRNA sequence (fasta format):


Input single target sequence (fasta format):


Maximum number of allowed UN-paired bases in seed/nucleus of nucleotides
Minimum number of paired-up bases in heteroduplex:
Maximum folding energy for heteroduplex (Kcal/mol):
