Abstract Identifying associations between microRNAs (miRNAs) and diseases is very important to understand the occurrence and development of human diseases. However, these existing methods suffer from the following limitation: first, some disease-related miRNAs are obtained from the miRNA functional similarity networks consisting of heterogeneous data sources, i.e., disease similarity, protein interaction network, gene expression. Second, little approaches infer disease-related miRNAs depending on the network topological features without the functional similarity of miRNAs. In this paper, we develop a novel model of Integrating Network Topology Similarity and MicroRNA Function Similarity (INTS-MFS). The integrated miRNA similarities are calculated… More >
