dloadMirtarbase: dloadMirtarbase

In TimiRGeN: Time sensitive microRNA-mRNA integration, analysis and network generation tool

Description

Downloads most recent version (8.0) of functional targets from the miRTarBase database http://mirtarbase.cuhk.edu.cn/php/download.php . Species specific miR-mRNA interactions which do not have 'weak' evidence are used.

Usage

dloadMirtarbase(MAE, species)

Arguments

MAE	MultiAssayExperiment which will store the downloaded mirtarbase data. It is recommended to use the MAE which was used in the mirMrnaInt function.
species	Species of interest e.g. "hsa" or "mmu".

Value

Dataframe of species specific miR-mRNA interactions with strong functional evidence. Output will be stored as an assay in the input MAE.

Examples

MAE <- MultiAssayExperiment()

MAE <- dloadMirtarbase(MAE, "mmu")
