miRNAtap (version 1.6.0)

miRNAtap: miRNAtap: microRNA Targets - Aggregated Predictions.

Description

It is a package with tools to facilitate implementation of workflows requiring miRNA prediction through access to multiple prediction results (DIANA, Targetscan, PicTar and Miranda) and their aggregation. Three aggregation methods are available: minimum, maximum and geometric mean, additional parameters provide further tuning of the results. Predictions are available for Homo sapiens, Mus musculus and Rattus norvegicus (the last one through homology translation).

Examples

#direct targets in mouse aggregated from all sources:
targets_mouse <- getPredictedTargets('let-7a',species='mmu', method='geom') 
#homology-translated targets in rat aggregated from all sources
targets_rat <- getPredictedTargets('let-7a',species='mmu', method='geom')
