Abstract
Recent evidence demonstrated the fundamental role of miRNAs as disease biomarkers
and their role in disease progression and pathology. Identifying disease related miRNAs using computational
approaches has become one of the trending topics in health informatics. Many biological
databases and online tools were developed for uncovering novel disease-related miRNAs. Hence, a
brief overview regarding the disease biomarkers, miRNAs as disease biomarkers and their role in
complex disorders is given here. Various methods for calculating miRNA and disease similarities are
included and the existing machine learning and network based computational approaches for detecting
disease associated miRNAs are reviewed along with the benchmark dataset used. Finally, the
performance matrices, validation measures and online tools used for miRNA Disease Association
(MDA) predictions are also outlined.
