22. MiRaGE is well coincident with lasso.
Thus, biological feasibilities obtained by
miRNA specific histone modification will
not be likely fake.
23. CCoonncclluussiioonnss
・P-values computed by MiRaGE are highly
tissue/histone modification specific.
・ Most significant miRNAs are stem cell or sperm
specific. Thus, biologically feasible.
・Since gene order shuffling destroys miRNA
specific significant histone modification, it is not
an artifact.
・Since it is coincident with lasso, biological
feasibility is not due to too simple algorithm
・Biological mechanism that causes miRNA
specific histone modification should be cleared.
