Combing the Hairball: Improving Visualization of miRNA-Target Interaction Networks

Publikation: Bidrag til bog/antologi/rapportBidrag til bog/antologiForskningfagfællebedømt

The visualization of regulatory networks is becoming increasingly important in order to understand molecular mechanisms and diseases. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) responsible of the post-transcriptional regulation of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and other ncRNAs. MiRNAs are involved in numerous biological processes including development, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. They are also key molecules in major complex diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. A single miRNA can regulate many targets, making the analysis and visualization of these complex networks challenging. Here, we present standard and advanced visualization approaches to represent networks with a special focus on miRNA-target interactions.
