The advancements in high throughput technologies allowed to generate mRNA and microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles; and the integrative analysis of these profiles allowed to uncover the functional effects of RNA expression in complex diseases, such as cancer. Several researches attempt to integrate miRNA and mRNA expression profiles using statistical methods such as Pearson correlation, and then combine it with enrichment analysis. In this study, we developed a novel tool called miRcorrNet, which performs machine learning-based integration to analyze miRNA and mRNA gene expression profiles. miRcorrNet groups mRNAs based on their correlation to miRNA expression levels and hence it generates groups of target genes associated with each miRNA. Then, these groups are subject to a rank function for classification. We have evaluated our tool using miRNA and mRNA expression profiling data downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and performed comparative evaluation with existing tools. In our experiments we show that miRcorrNet performs as good as other tools in terms of accuracy (reaching more than 95% AUC value). Additionally, miRcorrNet includes ranking steps to separate two classes, namely case and control, which is not available in other tools. We have also evaluated the performance of miRcorrNet using a completely independent dataset. Moreover, we conducted a comprehensive literature search to explore the biological functions of the identified miRNAs. We have validated our significantly identified miRNA groups against known databases, which yielded about 90% accuracy. Our results suggest that miRcorrNet is able to accurately prioritize pan-cancer regulating high-confidence miRNAs. miRcorrNet tool and all other supplementary files are available at https://github.com/ malikyousef/miRcorrNet. © 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - Scopus: 5CSA-DE-LR Enhancing Cardiovascular Disease Diagnosis With a Novel Hybrid Machine Learning Approach(PeerJ Inc., 2024-07-18) Dedeturk, Beyhan Adanur; Dedeturk, Bilge Kagan; Bakir-Güngör, BurcuCardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a leading cause of mortality globally, necessitating the development of efficient diagnostic tools. Machine learning (ML) and metaheuristic algorithms have become prevalent in addressing these challenges, providing promising solutions in medical diagnostics. However, traditional ML approaches often need to be improved in feature selection and optimization, leading to suboptimal performance in complex diagnostic tasks. To overcome these limitations, this study introduces a new hybrid method called CSA-DE-LR, which combines the clonal selection algorithm (CSA) and differential evolution (DE) with logistic regression. This integration is designed to optimize logistic regression weights efficiently for the accurate classification of CVD. The methodology employs three optimization strategies based on the F1 score, the Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC), and the mean absolute error (MAE). Extensive evaluations on benchmark datasets, namely Cleveland and Statlog, reveal that CSA-DELR outperforms state-of-the-art ML methods. In addition, generalization is evaluated using the Breast Cancer Wisconsin Original (WBCO) and Breast Cancer Wisconsin Diagnostic (WBCD) datasets. Significantly, the proposed model demonstrates superior efficacy compared to previous research studies in this domain. This study’s findings highlight the potential of hybrid machine learning approaches for improving diagnostic accuracy, offering a significant advancement in the fields of medical data analysis and CVD diagnosis. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
