In miRNAmeConverter: Convert miRNA Names to Different miRBase Versions

Description

This function checks if the names from a given set of mature miRNAs have a unique MIMAT ID. Check if given miRNA names can be assigned to unique MIMAT accessions among all versions

This function checks if the names from a given set of mature miRNAs have a unique MIMAT ID.

Usage

assessMiRNASwappingMIMAT(this, miRNAs, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

this	Object of class 'MiRNANameConverter'
miRNAs	A character vector of miRNA names
verbose	A boolean to either show more (TRUE) or less information (FALSE)

Details

Although the majority of miRNA names can be assigned to a unique MIMAT ID (accession) some miRNAs changed MIMAT ID in different versions. This function takes the input miRNA names and checks each one of them if they have a unique MIMAT ID over all versions. If a miRNA changes MIMAT ID in a version it will be comprised in the return vector.

Value

A character vector containing miRNA names that do not have a unique MIMAT ID
