dloadMirdb {TimiRGeN} | R Documentation

## dloadMirdb

### Description

Downloads most recent version (6.0) of predicted targets from the mirdb database http://mirdb.org/download.html. This will take some time. miR-mRNA interactions from the species of interest will be extracted. Species of interests associated org.db package must be loaded beforehand.

### Usage

    dloadMirdb(MAE, species, orgDB)

### Arguments

`MAE` | MultiAssayExperiment which will store downloaded mirDB data. It is recommended to use the MAE which was used in the mirMrnaInt function.
`species` | Species of interest e.g. "hsa" or "mmu".
`orgDB` | Organism db package specific for species of interest.

### Value

A dataframe of predicted, species specific mRNA-miR interactions. Will be stored as an assay in the input MAE.

### Examples

    ## Not run:

    library(org.Mm.eg.db)

    MAE <- MultiAssayExperiment()

    MAE <-dloadMirdb(MAE, 'mmu', org.Mm.eg.db)

    ## End(Not run)
