Computational approach for elucidating interactions of cross-species miRNAs and their targets in Flaviviruses.

Background & Objectives: Combating viral diseases has been a challenging task since time immemorial. Available molecular approaches are limited and not much effective for this daunting task. MicroRNA based therapies have shown promise in recent times.

Interaction map and selection of microRNA targets in Parkinson's disease-related genes.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex multigenic neurodisorder frequently occurring in elderly persons. To investigate noncoding tiny microRNA mediated gene regulation, miRanda (version 1.0b) was used to predict human miRNA target sites on selected 29 genes related to PD.
