The present invention concerns a method for identifying the functionality of each member of a family of nucleic acids interact with the first family. Nucleic acids from the first family are put into functionally related clusters that share biological information obtained from the second family. The invention also relates to the refinement and accurate prediction of interactions between the first family and the second family of nucleic acids. The invention also applies to the use of such functional information to identify targets and mechanisms for therapeutic applications.

Methods for analysis of microRNA

The present invention concerns a method for prediction and identification of microRNA precursors (pre-microRNA) and microRNA molecules using data processing programs and databases. The invention also pertains to the isolated form of these pre-microRNAs, microRNA molecules and derived nucleic acids there of. The invention also relates to recombinant vector, host cell, support, pharmaceutical composition or kit comprising such microRNA molecules or there of derivated molecules. The invention also applies to the use of such microRNA molecules and/or their identified targets in research, prognostic, diagnostic tools/methods as well as for therapeutic applications.
