BACKGROUND: In computational biology, a novel knowledge has been obtained mostly by identifying 'intra-relation,' the relation between entities on a specific biological level such as from gene expression or from microRNA (miRNA) and many such researches have been successful. However, intra-relations are not fully explaining complex cancer mechanisms because the inter-relation information between different levels of genomic data is missing, e.g. miRNA and its target genes. The 'inter-relation' between different levels of genomic data can be constructed from biological experimental data as well as genomic knowledge.
