The web tool can be broadly classified into two parts: Query Section and Analysis Section. The Query Section allows users to retrieve and browse different target prediction databases including PITA, Miranda and TargetScan. The Analysis Section depends upon the statistical approach to predicting the miRNA-mRNA targets. The statistical part can be broadly classified into three components: A) The parametric (Pearson) correlation), B) Distance Correlation and C) Brownian Covariance. Statistical calculation was done in R. The graphical representation of the interaction would be obtained by ggplot, an R package.enMiRNA-mRNA target predictionBrownian covariancePearson correlationDistance correlationThesis
