A curated dataset mapping human mature miRNA identifiers to their corresponding miRBase precursor accessions.

Usage

mirna_annotation

Format

A data frame with two columns and multiple rows (1 per miRNA):

identifier

Character string representing the mature miRNA ID, including the species prefix (e.g., "hsa-miR-6129").

accession

miRBase accession number for the precursor miRNA hairpin (e.g., "MI0021274").

Source

Extracted from a parsed version of miRBase release data.

Details

This dataset enables annotation and cross-referencing of mature miRNA names with miRBase precursor IDs. It is useful for linking results from miRNA expression studies with external reference databases such as miRBase.

The identifier field typically corresponds to results from expression matrices, differential analysis tools, or network analysis pipelines.
