targets: microRNA target sites

In rtracklayer: R interface to genome annotation files and the UCSC genome browser

Description

A data frame of human microRNA target sites retrieved from MiRBase. This is a subset of the hsTargets data frame in the microRNA package. See the rtracklayer vignette for more details.

Usage

data(targets)

Format

A data frame with 2981 observations on the following 6 variables.

name

The miRBase ID of the microRNA.

target

The Ensembl ID of the targeted transcript.

chrom

The name of the chromosome for target site.

start

Target start position.

end

Target stop position.

strand

The strand of the target site, "+", or "-".

Source

The microRNA package, dataset hsTargets. Originally MiRBase (http://microrna.sanger.ac.uk/).

Examples

data(targets)
targetTrack <- with(targets, 
    GenomicData(IRanges::IRanges(start, end), 
                strand = strand, chrom = chrom))
