microRNAs (miRNAs) are important gene regulators and they are involved in many biological processes, including cancer progression. Therefore, correctly identifying miRNA-mRNA interactions is a crucial task. To this end, a huge number of computational methods has been developed, but they mainly use the data at one snapshot and ignore the dynamics of a biological process. The recent development of single cell data and the booming of the exploration of cell trajectories using 'pseudotime' concept have inspired us to develop a pseudotime-based method to infer the miRNA-mRNA relationships characterizing a biological process by taking into account the temporal aspect of the process.
