Background  More than 1/3 of human genes are regulated by microRNAs. The identification of microRNA (miRNA) is the precondition of discovering the regulatory mechanism of miRNA and developing the cure for genetic diseases. The traditional identification method is biological experiment, but it has the defects of long period, high cost, and missing the miRNAs that but also many other algorithms only exist in a specific period or low expression level. Therefore, to overcome these defects, machine learning method is applied to identify miRNAs.    Results  In this study, for identifying real and pseudo miRNAs and classifying different species, we extracted 98 dimensional features based on the primary and secondary structure, then we proposed the BP-Adaboost method to figure out the overfitting phenomenon of BP neural network by constructing multiple BP neural network classifiers and distributed weights to these classifiers. The novel method we proposed, from the 4 evaluation terms, have achieved greatly improvement on the effect of identifying true pre-RNA compared to other methods. And from the respect of identifying species of pre-RNA, the novel method achieved more accuracy than other algorithms.    Conclusions  The BP-Adaboost method has achieved more than 98% accuracy in identifying real and pseudo miRNAs. It is much higher than not only BP but also many other algorithms. In the second experiment, restricted by the data, the algorithm could not get high accuracy in identifying 7 species, but also better than other algorithms.
