Details

Plot how many miRNAs are mentioned for the first time in different year. If a miRNA is considered to be "mentioned" in a year can be regulated via the threshold argument. If, for example, threshold is set to 3, but a miRNA is mentioned only twice in a year, it is not considered to be "mentioned" for this year.
