Abstract Background Recent studies have shown that the regulatory effect of microRNAs can be investigated by examining expression changes of their target genes. Given this it is useful to define an overall metric of regulatory effect for a specific microRNA and see how this changes across different conditions. Results Here we define a regulatory effect score RE-score to measure the inhibitory effect of a microRNA in a sample essentially the average difference in expression of its targets versus nontargets. Then we compare the RE-scores of various microRNAs between two breast cancer subtypes estrogen receptor .
