Abstract

BACKGROUND: RNA-RNA interactions are key to a wide range of cellular functions. The detection of potential interactions helps to understand the underlying processes. However, potential interactions identified via in silico or experimental high-throughput methods can lack precision because of a high false-positive rate.
