miRNAs are small fragments of RNA composed by 22 nucleotides. Many researchers are involved in studying these molecules that are considered as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for many diseases. The interests of computer scientists is related to the fact that miRNA experiments generate large volume of data due to the potential relation of single miRNA in many biological processes. Predicting the right behavior of miRNAs may help in early disease detection or in blocking biological…

eMiRo: an ontology-based system for clinical data integration and analysis
TLDR
The ontology-based system, called eMiRo (Electronic MedIcal RecOrd), includes geo-reference features for epidemiological analysis based on geographical and clinical information and supports the retrieval of additional information such as ontology terms and information about genes and diseases.

NAViGaTing the Micronome – Using Multiple MicroRNA Prediction Databases to Identify Signalling Pathway-Associated MicroRNAs
TLDR
The authors' pathway-based analysis of mirDIP data suggests microRNAs are involved in intra-pathway signalling, suggesting a hierarchical organization of micro RNAs co-targeting genes both within and between pathways, and implying differential involvement of universe and intra- Pathway microRNas at the disease level.
A human functional protein interaction network and its application to cancer data analysis
TLDR
A highly reliable functional interaction network upon expert-curated pathways is built and applied to the analysis of two genome-wide GBM and several other cancer data sets, suggesting common mechanisms in the cancer biology.
iMir: An integrated pipeline for high-throughput analysis of small non-coding RNA data obtained by smallRNA-Seq
TLDR
The integrated data analysis pipeline described here is based on a reliable, flexible and fully automated workflow, useful to rapidly and efficiently analyze high-throughput smallRNA-Seq data, such as those produced by the most recent high-performance next generation sequencers.
A blood based 12-miRNA signature of Alzheimer disease patients
TLDR
The data indicate that deregulated miRNAs in blood might be used as biomarkers in the diagnosis of AD or other neurological diseases.
