Organism Acronym to Species

Description

mirbaseSPECIES is an R object that provides mappings between organism acronyms and the species specifications.

Details

Each organism acronym to a unique character string which is the full name of the species. Further information concerning the species can be found by using the toTable function which reports the 'division', 'taxonomy', 'genome_assembly' and the 'ensembl_db' used.

The organism acronym of a microRNA is returned by using mirbaseID2SPECIES.
