miRNAmeConverter (version 1.0.2)

Convert miRNA Names to Different miRBase Versions

Description

Package containing an S4 class for translating mature miRNA names to different miRBase versions, checking names for validity and detecting miRBase version of a given set of names (data from http://www.mirbase.org/).

miRNAmeConverter

Handling mature miRNA names from different miRBase versions This package contains algorithms for dealing with mature miRNA names from different miRBase release versions. The functions are provided in form of methods as part of the MiRNANameConverter-class. The data of all the miRBase release versions is stored in the miRBaseVersions.db annotation package. The MiRNAmeConverter package contains one class that has two categories of functions: getters-functions and algorithms.
