assessVersion: Assess miRBase version

In miRNAmeConverter: Convert miRNA Names to Different miRBase Versions

Description

This function detects the most likely miRBase version of a given miRNA set. Assess miRBase version

This function detects the most likely miRBase version of a given miRNA set.

Usage

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
