dloadTargetscan {TimiRGeN} | R Documentation

## dloadTargetscan

### Description

Downloads most recent version (7.2) of predicted targets from the targetscan database http://www.targetscan.org/cgi-bin/targetscan/data_download.vert72.cgi. miR-mRNA interactions from the species of interest will be extracted.

### Usage

    dloadTargetscan(MAE, species)

### Arguments

`MAE` | MultiAssayExperiment which will store the downloaded targetscan data. It is recommended to use the MAE which was used in the mirMrnaInt function.
`species` | Species of interest e.g "hsa" or "mmu."

### Value

Dataframe of species specific predicted mRNA-miR interactions. Output will be stored as an assay in the input MAE.

### Examples

    ## Not run:
    MAE <- MultiAssayExperiment()

    MAE <-dloadTargetscan(MAE, "mmu")

    ## End(Not run)
