If you enter the sequences of two hairpins, MiRscan will assign them a score, based on their similarity to 50 pairs of experimentally verified C. elegans/C. briggsae microRNA hairpins. (See the first reference for details.)


Enter lines of the format
(name) (~100mer) (~100mer)

For example, try copying and pasting the mir-34 human/fugu sequence pair below. (Be sure to include the name.)
