The small non-coding RNAs, known as microRNAs (miRNAs), regulate more than 90% of the coding genes in human through a complex combinatorial network. We show that the miRNA regulatory network consists of 70 clusters and interaction among them. Instead of individual miRNAs, these clusters that co-target the genes are found to be important for the regulation of biological pathway, molecular functions, and genetic diseases.
