I have a double stranded RNA (dsRNA) sequence (~300 nt long). Are there any bioinformatic tools to predict its products after cleavage by Dicer (presuming that it is already processed by Drosha).

This is really an interesting question.

I don't know whether any software do exactly what you are looking for, but I think you can predict miRNA from the dsRNAs if you able to tweak the available open source software, say for example miRDeep2 etc.

Why does two different bioinformatics tools for the same proteins show different subcellular localizations?

During a computational analysis, I found that for a protein of a plant, two different subcellular localizations are seen using CELLO and WoLF PSORT. For example, in CELLO, it identified the...
