While a miRNA can target hundreds of messenger RNA (mRNAs), an mRNA can be targeted by different miRNAs, not to mention that a single miRNA might have various binding sites in an mRNA sequence. Therefore, it is quite involved to investigate miRNAs experimentally. Thus, machine learning (ML) is frequently used to overcome such challenges. The key parts of a ML analysis largely depend on the quality of input data and the capacity of the features describing the data. Previously, more than 1000 features were suggested for miRNAs. Here, it is shown that using 36 features representing the RNA secondary structure and its dynamic 3D graphical representation provides up to 98% accuracy values. In this study, a new approach for ML-based miRNA prediction is proposed. Thousands of models are generated through classification of known human miRNAs and pseudohairpins with 3 classifiers: decision tree, naive Bayes, and random forest. Although the method is based on human data, the best model was able to correctly assign 96% of nonhuman hairpins from MirGeneDB, suggesting that this approach might be useful for the analysis of miRNAs from other species.Article Evaluation of Sub-Network Search Programs in Epilepsy-Related GWAS Dataset(Pamukkale Univ, 2022) Adanur Dedeturk, Beyhan; Bakir Gungor, Burcu; Dedeturk, Beyhan Adanur; Gungor, Burcu BakirThe active sub-network detection aims to find a group of interconnected genes of disease-related genes in a protein-protein interaction network. In recent years, several algorithms have been developed for this problem. In this study, the analysis of disease-specific sub-network identification programs is evaluated using epilepsy data set. Under the same conditions and with the same data set, 9 different programs are run and results of their Greedy algorithm, Genetic algorithm, Simulated Annealing Algorithm, MCC (Maximal Clique Centrality) algorithm, MCODE (Molecular Complex Detection) algorithm, and PEWCC (Protein Complex Detection using Weighted Clustering Coefficient) algorithm are shown. The top-scoring 5 modules of each program, are compared using fold enrichment analysis and normalized mutual information. Also, the identified subnetworks are functionally enriched using a hypergeometric test, and hence, disease-associated biological pathways are identified. In addition, running times and features of the programs are comparatively evaluated.
