How can I accelerate the TARGETSCAN process when dealing with an excessive number of sequences that takes a long time?

Description of feature

perl /usr/local/bin/targetscan_70.pl mature.txt C23.targetscan_ts.txt C23.targetscan.txt

We are working on this on the sponging branch, we'll split the large sequence files into many smaller ones and process them independently. After that, the individual results will be aggregated to a single one. Will take 1-2 weeks till ready

Sounds like a good plan. Looking forward to seeing the improved results.

The step of miRNA prediction takes too much time, can we skip this step?

You can skip it by not providing params.mature. If you are using iGenomes, you can override the default by setting params.mature = null manually. The proper fix will be added later this week.
