> ABSTRACT:*
> *This thesis describes the design and implementation of a web-based 
> tool -- MIAMI (miRNA and mRNA integrated analysis) -- that enables 
> integrative analysis of target predictions, miRNA and gene expression 
> data. MIAMI is divided into two parts: the query section and the 
> analysis section. The query section allows the user to retrieve and 
> browse updated miRNA-mRNA pairs predicted using a number of different 
> computational algorithms such as PITA, miRanda and Target Scan as well 
> as Boolean combinations of these algorithms. The analysis section 
> comprises a multi-step procedure for (i) performing various 
> statistical analyses of mRNA and miRNA expression data; (ii) 
> visualization of networks of the highest confidence miRNA and mRNA 
> interactions and; (iii) retrieval of gene, miRNA and disease-specific 
> information available in several public databases via scientific 
> literature text-mining.
