WTAM: a web server for annotation of weighted human microRNAs.

ABSTRACT: It is well-known that some microRNAs (miRNAs) are more important than the others for life, hinting the wide range of miRNA in essentiality or importance. Functional enrichment analysis is a quite pervasive method to dig out the underlying biological pathway for a given gene list and several tools of miRNA set enrichment analysis have been developed. However, all those tools treat each miRNA equally and neglect the importance score of miRNA itself, which could be an obstacle to seek more insightful biological processes for researchers. Here, we developed wTAM, a tool for annotation of weighted human miRNAs, introducing the miRNA importance scores into enrichment analysis. In addition, the annotation repository has been enlarged comparing to TAM. Finally, the case study demonstrated the avai
