Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are elements of the gene regulatory network and manipulating their abundance is essential toward elucidating their role in patho-physiological conditions. We present a detailed workflow that identifies important miRNAs using a machine learning algorithm. We then provide optimized techniques to validate the identified miRNAs through over-expression/loss-of-function studies. Overall, these protocols apply to any field in biology where high-dimensional data are produced. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Wong et al. (2021a).
