MicroRNA (miRNA) precursor arms give rise to multiple isoforms simultaneously called 'isomiRs.' IsomiRs from the same arm typically differ by a few nucleotides at either their 5' or 3' termini or both. In humans, the identities and abundances of isomiRs depend on a person's sex and genetic ancestry as well as on tissue type, tissue state and disease type/subtype. Moreover, nearly half of the time the most abundant isomiR differs from the miRNA sequence found in public databases. Accurate mining of isomiRs from deep sequencing data is thus important.
