miRBaseConverter is an R/Bioconductor package for converting and retrieving the definition of miRNAs ( Names, Accessions, Sequences, Families and others) in different miRBase versions ( From miRBase version 6 to version 22 [ The latest version ] ). A tiny built-in database is embedded in the miRBaseConverter R package for retrieving miRNA information efficiently.
The tutorial and examples of miRBaseConverter pacakge can be found here.
