Abstract: The main object of this project was to create a meta model capable of predicting microRNA targets in humans. Improving the performance of the predictors involved. Since the discovery of microRNAs almost 30 years ago, the important role that these ~22 nucleotide sequences have in all cellular processes and in the development of numerous diseases has been found. To determine the impact of a miRNA on our body, it is essential to know the target on which the miRNA acts. Many computational metods has been developed with this objective. Generally this methods give too much noise. Meta Learning has shown how it is able to outperform base learners on machine learning tasks. With this in consideration, a miRNA predictor selection has been done and multiples machine learning models has been trained with the results of the predictors. Finally, a meta model has been obtained. This meta model outperforms the base learners used for its training.
