MicroRNA IDs to Genomic Context

Description

mirbaseCONTEXT is an R object that maps microRNA identifiers to information related to overlapping transcripts.

Details

Each microRNA identifier maps to a mirnaContext object that has 6 slots: contextTranscriptID: Transcript identifer contextOverlapSense: Strand of transcript contextOverlapType: Type of overlap (exon, intron, 3' or 5' UTR) contextNumber: Type of overlap number (eg exon 3) contextTranscriptSource: Transcript database contextTranscriptName: Transcript Name
