miRvial

miRvial is a computational tool for detecting and analyzing microRNAs (miRNAs) in eukaryotic species. It offers adjustable parameters and visual inspection of candidate miRNAs, making it a versatile and user-friendly software package. Comparative studies with six existing miRNA finding methods on various model organisms demonstrated miRvial's superior performance in identifying novel miRNAs and characterizing their features.
