MicroRNA IDs to Clusters

Description

mirbaseCLUSTER is an R object that provides mappings between microRNA identifiers and other microRNA identifiers within a 10kb window ('genomic cluster').

Details

Each microRNA identifier maps to a vector of a microRNA identifiers belonging to a cluster (if any beyound itself). This information was computed ad-hoc as it is not included in the original data tables provided by mirbase.org.

Examples

    x <- mirbaseCLUSTER
    # Get the first cluster containg more than one element
    clL <- eapply(x, length)
    id <- names(clL[clL > 1])[1]
    get(id, x)
