Mirsynergy-package: Mirsynergy: detect synergistic miRNA regulatory modules by overlapping neighbourhood expansion.

Description

Mirsynergy is a deterministic overlapping clustering algorithm adapted from a recently developed framework. Mirsynergy operates in two stages that first forms MRM based on co-occurring miRNAs and then expand the MRM by greedily including (excluding) mRNA into (from) the MRM to maximize the synergy score, which is a function of miRNA-mRNA and gene-gene interactions.

The main function mirsynergy takes as inputs the mRNA and miRNA interaction matrix and gene-gene interaction matrix provided by the user or generated from existing techniques described in the manuscript (in preparation). The function then outputs a list with each item as a miRNA regulatory module (MRM) containing miRNA and mRNA ID and and other results for diagnostic purpose.
