MIR

About:

MIR is a computational method to infer relative activities miRNAs by integrating microarray expression data with miRNA target predictions.

Download:

WinMIR.exe: Program executable in Microsoft Windows system. The program is coded in C++ and complied with Visual Studio 6.0.

UnixMIR: Program executable in UNIX system.

Readme: description about format of input and output files for the above program.

Example microarray data: miRNA transfection data with 14 expression change profiles. Relative expressions of genes are measured using two-channel arrays after miRNA transfection into Hela cells.

Example miRNA-gene binding affinity data: Binding affinity profiles of 211 human miRNA to genes.

Run.bat: An example to show how to run the program.

Example output file: An example output file
