Duplex energy is a strong discriminant between true and false micromatches. The procedure was started with 142 mRNAs targeted by known miRNAs. Micromatches were filtered for low-complexity, overlap with exons and repeats. Then the remaining micromatches were divided in two bins: true positives (green trace) that overlap with known miRNA genes and false positives (red trace) that do not.
