assessVersion(this, miRNAs, verbose = FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'MiRNANameConverter'
assessVersion(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

This function takes a set of miRNA names and detects the most likely miRBase version of this given set of 'miRNAs'. First all miRNAs will be checked for validity (if they are actual miRNA names checkMiRNAName and the set that passes the check will be further processed.

Value

A data frame with two columns: version and frequency (decreasing order by frequency, version) + version: miRBase version + frequency: the number of valid miRNAs that could be assigned to the version respectively
