However, no database has been constructed to integrate the large-scale circulating miRNA profiles, explore the functional pathways involved and predict the potential biomarkers using feature selection between the disease conditions. Although there have been several studies attempting to generate a circulating miRNA database, they have not yet integrated the large-scale circulating miRNA profiles or provided the biomarker-selection function using machine learning methods.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>To fill this gap, we constructed the Circulating MicroRNA Expression Profiling (CMEP) database for integrating, analyzing and visualizing the large-scale expression profiles of phenotype-specific circulating miRNAs. The CMEP database contains massive datasets that were manually curated from NCBI GEO and the exRNA Atlas, including 66 datasets, 228 subsets and 10 419 samples. The CMEP provides the differential expression circulating miRNAs analysis and the KEGG functional pathway enrichment analysis. Furthermore, to provide the function of noninvasive biomarker discovery, we implemented several feature-selection methods, including ridge regression, lasso regression, support vector machine and random forests. Finally, we implemented a user-friendly web interface to improve the user experience and to visualize the data and results of CMEP.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title><jats:p>CMEP is accessible at http:\/\/syslab5.nchu.edu.tw\/CMEP.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btz042","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,18]],"date-time":"2019-01-18T12:15:36Z","timestamp":1547813736000},"page":"3127-3132","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["CMEP: a database for circulating microRNA expression profiling"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Jian-Rong","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Genomics and Bioinformatics"},{"name":"National Chung Hsing University Advanced Plant Biotechnology Center, , Taichung City 402, Taiwan"}]},{"given":"Chun-Yip","family":"Tong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Genomics and Bioinformatics"}]},{"given":"Tsai-Jung","family":"Sung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Genomics and Bioinformatics"}]},{"given":"Ting-Yu","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Genomics and Bioinformatics"}]},{"given":"Xianghong Jasmine","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California at Los Angeles Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine, , Los Angeles, CA, USA"}]},{"given":"Chun-Chi","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Genomics and Bioinformatics"},{"name":"National Chung Hsing University Advanced Plant Biotechnology Center, , Taichung City 402, Taiwan"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023062711320212300_btz042-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"27493","DOI":"10.3402\/jev.v4.27493","article-title":"The NIH extracellular RNA communication consortium","volume":"4","author":"Ainsztein","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
