(primary solid tumor cohort)
This pipeline infers putative direct gene targets of miRs based on miR and gene expression profiles across multiple samples.
This pipeline use a relevance network approach to infer putative miR:mRNA regulatory connections. All miR:mRNA pairs that have correlations < -0.3 and have predicted interactions in three sequence prediction databases (Miranda, Pictar, Targetscan) define the final network.
Figure 1. Get High-res Image Distribution of miR:gene pairs by the number of sequence prediction databases that predict an interaction between the two molecules. Miranda, Targetscan and Pictar are the three databases used in the analysis. Only miR:gene pairs that have correlation values less than the threshold are shown.

Pairwise Pearson correlations coefficients between all miR:gene pairs are first computed. All genes that have correlation values less than the user-defined threshold (-0.3) with a particular miR and have been predicted as targets of that miR in three sequence based prediction databases: Miranda[1][2] Pictar[3][4], TargetScan [5][6][7] are identified as putative direct targets of that miR. We infer a direct target miR:gene network which comprises all such putative direct associations.
