# Get targeted mRNA

On a miRNA list, in order to perform biological interpretation, the targeted mRNA with gene symbol information is needed - gene symbol is used to map to the pathway database

On a data node contains miRNA list, e.g. differential analysis result data, **Biological interpretation > Get targeted mRNA** task will be enabled.

Database like TargetScan can be used to get targeted mRNAs for a specific mRNA. Specify the database in the dialog, and click **Finish**.

* Context++ score: estimating the strength of repression, more negative values suggest stronger predicted repression, this is the key metric for ranking predicted targets
* Context++ score percentile: percentile ranking of the score compared to all predictions, higher percentile means stronger predicted effect
* Weighted Context++ score: adjusted score considering multiple sites in the same transcript
* Predicted relative KD: predicted relative dissociation constant is to measure the affinity between miRNA and targeted mRNA, lower KD means stronger binding affinity, higher KD means weaker binding.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.connected.illumina.com/icm/analyses/analysis-functionality/task-menu/biological-interpretation/get-targeted-mrna.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
