Improving Bioinformatics Prediction of microRNA Targets by Ranks Aggregation

microRNAs are non-coding RNAs which down-regulate a large number of target mRNAs and modulate cell activity. Despite continued progress, bioinformatics prediction of microRNA targets remains a challenge since available software still suffer from a lack of accuracy and sensitivity. Moreover, these tools show fairly inconsistent results from one another. Thus, in an attempt to circumvent these difficulties, we aggregated all human results of four...
