findTargets

R Documentation

Find miRNAs target using mRNA/miRNA expression

Description

This function creates a matrix with rows (genes) and columns (mirnas) with values indicating if miRNA-gene pair is target according putative targets and negative correlation of the expression of both molecules.

Usage

findTargets(mirna_rse, gene_rse, target, summarize = "group", min_cor = -0.6)

Arguments

`mirna_rse`	`SummarizedExperiment` with miRNA information. See details.
`gene_rse`	`SummarizedExperiment` with gene information. See details.
`target`	Data.frame with two columns: gene and miRNA.
`summarize`	Character column name in colData(rse) to use to group samples and compare betweem miRNA/gene expression.
`min_cor`	Numeric cutoff for correlation value that will be use to consider a miRNA-gene pair as valid.

Value

mirna-gene matrix

Examples


data(isoExample)
mirna_ma <- data.frame(gene = names(gene_ex_rse)[1:20],
                       mir = names(mirna_ex_rse))
corMat <- findTargets(mirna_ex_rse, gene_ex_rse, mirna_ma)
