Abstract

MOTIVATION: Extracellular miRNAs (exmiRs) and intracellular mRNAs both can serve as promising biomarkers and therapeutic targets for various diseases. However, exmiR expression data is often noisy, and obtaining intracellular mRNA expression data usually involves intrusive procedures. To gain valuable insights into disease mechanisms, it is thus essential to improve the quality of exmiR expression data and develop noninvasive methods for assessing intracellular mRNA expression.
