Abstract

BACKGROUND: Different expression levels of circular RNAs (circRNAs) affect the sensitivity of human cells to drugs, thus producing different responses to the therapeutic effects of drugs. Using traditional biomedical experiments to discover and confirm sensitivity relationships is not only time-consuming but also costly. Therefore, developing an effective method to accurately predict new associations between circRNAs and drug sensitivity is crucial and urgent. Therefore, we constructed a heterogeneous graph network MiGNN2CDS on the basis of multi-instance learning (MIL).
