  1. Forty-two percent of patients experience disease comorbidity, contributing substantially to mortality rates and increased healthcare costs. Yet, the possibility of underlying shared mechanisms for diseases rem...

    Authors: Haiquan Li, Jungwei Fan, Francesca Vitali, Joanne Berghout, Dillon Aberasturi, Jianrong Li, Liam Wilson, Wesley Chiu, Minsu Pumarejo, Jiali Han, Colleen Kenost, Pradeep C. Koripella, Nima Pouladi, Dean Billheimer, Edward J. Bedrick and Yves A. Lussier
    Citation: BMC Medical Genomics 2018 11(Suppl 6):112
  2. Current knowledge and data on miRNA-lncRNA interactions is still limited and little effort has been made to predict target lncRNAs of miRNAs. Accumulating evidences suggest that the interaction patterns betwee...

    Citation: BMC Medical Genomics 2018 11(Suppl 6):113
  3. Recent studies demonstrated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) could be intricately implicated in cancer-related molecular networks, and related to cancer occurrence, development and prognosis. However, clini...

    Citation: BMC Medical Genomics 2018 11(Suppl 6):114
  4. Gene co-expression network (GCN) mining is a systematic approach to efficiently identify novel disease pathways, predict novel gene functions and search for potential disease biomarkers. However, few studies h...
