Therefore, to diagnose and treat human complex diseases, it is necessary to reveal the associations between a specific disease and related miRNAs. Although current computational models based on machine learning attempt to determine miRNA-disease associations, the accuracy of these models need to be improved, and candidate miRNA-disease relations need to be evaluated from a biological perspective. In this paper, we propose a computational model named miRdisNET to predict potential miRNA-disease associations. Specifically, miRdisNET requires two types of data, i.e., miRNA expression profiles and known disease-miRNA associations as input files. First, we generate subsets of specific diseases by applying the grouping component. These subsets contain miRNA expressions with class labels associated with each specific disease. Then, we assign an importance score to each group by using a machine learning method for classification. Finally, we apply a modeling component and obtain outputs. One of the most important outputs of miRdisNET is the performance of miRNA-disease prediction. Compared with the existing methods, miRdisNET obtained the highest AUC value of .9998. Another output of miRdisNET is a list of significant miRNAs for disease under study. The miRNAs identified by miRdisNET are validated via referring to the gold-standard databases which hold information on experimentally verified MicroRNA-disease associations. miRdisNET has been developed to predict candidate miRNAs for new diseases, where miRNA-disease relation is not yet known. In addition, miRdisNET presents candidate disease-disease associations based on shared miRNA knowledge.

S.; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu; Zou, Fei; Yousef, Malik; Unlu Yazici, MirayAdvanced genomic and molecular profiling technologies accelerated the enlightenment of the regulatory mechanisms behind cancer development and progression, and the targeted therapies in patients. Along this line, intense studies with immense amounts of biological information have boosted the discovery of molecular biomarkers. Cancer is one of the leading causes of death around the world in recent years. Elucidation of genomic and epigenetic factors in Breast Cancer (BRCA) can provide a roadmap to uncover the disease mechanisms. Accordingly, unraveling the possible systematic connections between-omics data types and their contribution to BRCA tumor progression is crucial. In this study, we have developed a novel machine learning (ML) based integrative approach for multi-omics data analysis. This integrative approach combines information from gene expression (mRNA), MicroRNA (miRNA) and methylation data. Due to the complexity of cancer, this integrated data is expected to improve the prediction, diagnosis and treatment of disease through patterns only available from the 3-way interactions between these 3-omics datasets. In addition, the proposed method bridges the interpretation gap between the disease mechanisms that drive onset and progression. Our fundamental contribution is the 3 Multi-omics integrative tool (3Mint). This tool aims to perform grouping and scoring of groups using biological knowledge. Another major goal is improved gene selection via detection of novel groups of cross-omics biomarkers. Performance of 3Mint is assessed using different metrics. Our computational performance evaluations showed that the 3Mint classifies the BRCA molecular subtypes with lower number of genes when compared to the miRcorrNet tool which uses miRNA and mRNA gene expression profiles in terms of similar performance metrics (95% Accuracy). The incorporation of methylation data in 3Mint yields a much more focused analysis. The 3Mint tool and all other supplementary files are available at .
