The HOCTAR (Host gene Opposite Correlated TARgets) tool is a new procedure to improve the prediction of miRNA targets. The HOCTAR procedure is based on the integration of expression profiling and sequence-based miRNA target recognition softwares. HOCTAR database is the first and unique database to use transcriptomic data to score putative miRNA targets looking at the expression behavior of their host genes, and it includes and re-analyzes all miRNA target predictions generated by softwares such as miRanda, TargetScan and PicTar. The HOCTAR contains the prediction target lists for 290 human intragenic miRNAs and also provides tentative assignments of miRNA function based on Gene Ontology analyses of their predicted targets. |

mirDIP integrates prediction databases to elucidate accurate microRNA:target relationships. Pathway-based analysis of mirDIP data suggests microRNAs are involved in intra-pathway signalling. We identify two distinct classes of microRNAs, suggesting a hierarchical organization of microRNAs co-targeting genes both within and between pathways, and implying differential involvement of universe and intra-pathway microRNAs at the disease level. |

Since different existing algorithms rely on different features and classifiers, there is a poor agreement among the results of different algorithms. To benefit from the advantages of different algorithms, we proposed an algorithm called BCmicrO that combines the prediction of TargetScan, miRanda, PicTar, mirTarget, PITA, and DianamicroT. |
