Abstract: MicroRNAs are a class of endogenous small non-coding RNAs about 22 nt long that present extensively in many species such as Caenorhabditis elegans， Drosophila melanogaster， Mus musculus， Homo sapiens and Arabidopsis thaliana etc， which play an important role in the development of various organisms. Several hundred microRNAs have been being experimentally identified and predicted by computational methods both in animals and plants. The summary of the methods in identifying and predicting novel microRNAs can provide some new clues and elicitations for further researching on microRNAs.
