Description

mirbaseID2SPECIES is an R object that provides mappings between microRNA identifiers and the species they belong to.

Details

Each microRNA identifier maps to a unique character string which is an abbreviated name of the species. Further information concerning the species can be found by using the name with mirbaseSPECIES.

Examples

    x <- mirbaseID2SPECIES
    # Get the microRNA identifiers that are mapped to a species
    mapped_keys <- mappedkeys(x)
    # Convert to a list
    xx <- as.list(x[mapped_keys])
    if(length(xx) > 0) {
      # Get the ID2SPECIES for the first five entries
      xx[1:5]
     }
