convert: Convert miRNA symbols from a miRBase version to another

In miRLAB: Dry lab for exploring miRNA-mRNA relationships

Description

This function convert the miRNAs in the input file from the "source" miRBase version to the "Target" version. If users do not know the miRBase version of the input file, please set the source version to 0. The function will match the miRNAs in the input file to all miRBase versions to find the most likely miRBase version. Currently, we have versions 16-21.

Usage

convert(miRNAListFile, sourceV, targetV)

Arguments

miRNAListFile	the input file containing a list of miRNA symbols in csv format
sourceV	the miRBase version of the input miRNAs, e.g. 16. If users do not know the version, use 0.
targetV	the miRBase version that we want to convert into, e.g. 21.

Value

A csv file in the working directory containing the converted miRNA symbols.

Examples

miRs=system.file("extdata", "ToymiRs.csv", package="miRLAB")
convert(miRs, 17, 21)
