dloadTargetscan: dloadTargetscan

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

Description

Downloads most recent version (7.2) of predicted targets from the targetscan database http://www.targetscan.org/cgi-bin/targetscan/data_download.vert72.cgi. miR-mRNA interactions from the species of interest will be extracted.

Usage

dloadTargetscan(MAE, species)

Arguments

MAE	MultiAssayExperiment which will store the downloaded targetscan 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 predicted mRNA-miR interactions. Output will be stored as an assay in the input MAE.

Examples

## Not run: 
MAE <- MultiAssayExperiment()

MAE <-dloadTargetscan(MAE, "mmu")

## End(Not run)
