I am trying to derive predicted targets for specific miRNAs. When looking at the targetScan results derived from the multiMir tools in comparision to the one derived from the targetScan website directly, I can not reproduce the results. Could you clarify how the cutoff for the prediction score is derived and how the ranking is done?
Hi,
I am trying to derive predicted targets for specific miRNAs. When looking at the targetScan results derived from the multiMir tools in comparision to the one derived from the targetScan website directly, I can not reproduce the results. Could you clarify how the cutoff for the prediction score is derived and how the ranking is done?
Here is the code and results. multiMir v1.20.0

The scores are comparable for most of the targets but the ranks clearly differ (Cumulative weighted context++ score).
