Detection of lncRNA-mRNA interaction modules by integrating eQTL with weighted gene co-expression network analysis
One major function of lncRNA is to regulate the expression of mRNA, but the patterns of their interactions were largely unknown. We attempted to construct lncRNA-mRNA interaction modules at a genome-wide scale...

Correlation analyses revealed global microRNA–mRNA expression associations in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can regulate gene expression through binding to complementary sites in the 3′-untranslated regions of target mRNAs, which will lead to existence of correlation in expression between miRNA an...
