NMCMDA: neural multicategory MiRNA–disease association prediction
Briefings in Bioinformatics, 2021 AbstractMotivationThere is growing evidence showing that the dysregulations of miRNAs cause diseases through various kinds of the underlying mechanism. Thus, predicting the multiple-category associations between microRNAs (miRNAs) and diseases plays an important role in investigating the roles of miRNAs in diseases.
