Abstract

Motivation: The analysis of longitudinal datasets and construction of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) provide a valuable means to disentangle the complexity of microRNA (miRNA)-mRNA interactions. However, there are no computational tools that can integrate, conduct functional analysis and generate detailed networks from longitudinal miRNA-mRNA datasets. Results: We present TimiRGeN, an R package that uses time point-based differential expression results to identify miRNA-mRNA interactions influencing signaling pathways of interest. miRNA-mRNA interactions can be visualized in R or exported to PathVisio or Cytoscape. The output can be used for hypothesis generation and directing in vitro or further in silico work such as GRN construction.
