Prioritization, clustering and functional annotation of MicroRNAs using latent semantic indexing of MEDLINE abstracts.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In recent years, substantial effort has been applied to de novo regulatory motif discovery. At this time, more than 150 software tools exist to detect regulatory binding sites given a set of genomic sequences. As the number of software packages increases, it becomes more important to identify the tools with ...
