Benchmarking the negatives: Effect of negative data generation on the classification of miRNA-mRNA interactions
by Efrat Cohen-Davidi, Isana Veksler-Lublinsky
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally. In animals, this regulation is achieved via base-pairing with partially complementary sequences on mainly 3’ UTR region of messenger RNAs (mRNAs). Computational approaches that predict miRNA target interactions (MTIs) facilitate the process of narrowing down potential targets for experimental validation. The availability of new datasets of high-throughput... Читать дальше...
