Using high-throughput validation assays in breast cancer cell lines, we show that our integrative approach significantly improves on microRNA–target prediction accuracy as assessed by both mRNA and protein level measurements. Our biochemical assays support nearly 500 microRNA–target interactions with evidence for regulation in breast cancer tumors. Moreover, these assays constitute the most extensive validation platform for computationally inferred networks of microRNA–target interactions in breast cancer tumors, providing a useful benchmark to ascertain future improvements.}, URL = {http://genome.cshlp.org/content/25/2/257.abstract}, eprint = {http://genome.cshlp.org/content/25/2/257.full.pdf+html}, journal = {Genome Research} }
