Table 1 Algorithm for computing the miRNA-gene target prediction score b

Require:G a set of target prediction graphs, and w the associated pairwise consistency weights

 \(\mathbb {E} \Leftarrow \) Union of all edges in G

 repeat

  Extract \(e \in \mathbb {E}\)

  if e belongs to more than one graph from Gthen

   \(~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~b_{e} \Leftarrow \sum w_{i-j} \; \forall i,j \mid e \in G(i)\) and e∈G(j)

  end if

 \(\mathbf {until} \mathbb {E} = \emptyset \)
