Overview

Introduction

This pipeline infers putative direct gene targets of miRs based on miR and gene expression profiles across multiple samples.

Summary

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.

Pearson corelation

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.

threshold = -0.3
