miRAW: A deep learning-based approach to predict microRNA targets by analyzing whole microRNA transcripts

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by binding to partially complementary regions within the 3’UTR of their target genes. Computational methods play an important role in target prediction and assume that the …

BlastGraph: a comparative genomics tool based on BLAST and graph algorithms

BlastGraph is an interactive Java program for comparative genome analysis based on Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST), graph clustering and data visualization. The software generates clusters of sequences of multiple genomes from all-to-all …

Predicting response to preoperative chemotherapy agents by identifying drug action on modeled microRNA regulation networks

Identifying patients most responsive to specific chemotherapy agents in neoadjuvant settings can help to maximize the benefits of treatment and minimize unnecessary side effects. Metagene approaches that predict response based on gene expression …

MiRPara: a SVM-based software tool for prediction of most probable microRNA coding regions in genome scale sequences

MicroRNAs are a family of ~22 nt small RNAs that can regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Identification of these molecules and their targets can aid understanding of regulatory processes. Recently, HTS has become a common …
