If you're still interesting in such an analysis, there is a new version of MMIA, which offers additionally analysis for NGS data.
Hello What is the best free web server that can integrate miRNA and mRNA microarray data? What do think of MAGIA (http://gencomp.bio.unipd.it/magia/documentation/) and MMIA (http://epigenomics.snu.ac.kr/MMIA/mmia_main.html) ? They are not updated!! Is there any software that can easily interpret the results. Thanks for ur help

If your institution has a license, I think IPA is the best option (but it isn't free).
IPA has a mix of known and predicted targets. You can download the predicted targets for free (http://www.targetscan.org/). Many of the known interaction may come from IPA's proprietary database, but I think you can also find known interactions from tarbase (http://diana.cslab.ece.ntua.gr/tarbase/).
Once you have text files with the miRNA-mRNA interactions, you can search for which interactions fit your data (based upon genes with with opposite fold-change / log2ratios and/or a negative correlation between miRNA and mRNA expression levels).
You also can use starBase ( http://starbase.sysu.edu.cn ). starBase Platform is designed for deciphering Pan-Cancer Networks of miRNA-mRNA, miRNA-lncRNA, miRNA-ncRNA and protein-RNA by mining clinical and expression profiles of 14 cancer types (>6000 samples) from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Data Portal. It explore the negative correlation between miRNA and mRNA expression levels using expression profiles ( http://starbase.sysu.edu.cn/targetSite.php ).
Maybe you will find the newer release of MAGIA helpful: http://gencomp.bio.unipd.it/magia2
You can try InCroMAP software. It is based on Java, but user - friendly, and free, of course. Basic functions:
- analyzing data: mRNA expression data, miRNA expression data, DNA methylation data, and protein modification expression data
- you can analyze a single dataset: i.e. enrichment analysis, pathway - based data visualization, visualization of miRNA targets, metabolomic overview
- and the main function: integrated cross-platform microarray data analysis - something like MAGIA does, but more expanded and updated.
You can try and read about it here and here.
Best regards!
