Abstract

BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have shown that circRNA can act as a miRNA sponge, competitively binding to miRNAs, thereby regulating gene expression and disease progression. Due to the high cost and time-consuming nature of traditional wet lab experiments, analyzing circRNA-miRNA associations is often inefficient and labor-intensive. Although some computational models have been developed to identify these associations, they fail to capture the deep collaborative features between circRNA and miRNA interactions and do not guide the training of feature extraction networks based on these high-order relationships, leading to poor prediction performance.
