MicroRNA IDs to Mature MicroRNAs

Description

mirbaseMATURE is an R object that maps microRNA identifiers to information related to their corresponding mature microRNA(s).

Details

Each microRNA identifier maps to a mirnaMATURE object that has 7 slots: matureAccession: Accession number matureName: ID (or name) matureFrom: Start position in precursor sequence matureTo: End position in precursor sequence matureEvidence: Experimental evidence matureExperiment: Experiment description and citation matureSimilarity: Accession number of similar precursor microRNA

The citations in the Experiment description can be retrieved by using mirbasePMID.

Examples

    x <- mirbaseMATURE
    mapped_keys <- mappedkeys(x)
    # Get the MATURE for the first element of xx
    get(mapped_keys[1], x)
