R help - Jun 2009 - R and miRecords

I wonder whether R provides an interface to access miRecords data.
Particularly, I am looking for  extracting humans miRNA and target genes
sequences.
All such information is stored in there in a set of structured web site  pages
(http://mirecords.umn.edu/miRecords)
I would greatly appreciate any suggestion even about other data bases from where
it is possible to get the same sort of data.
I had a look at the database whose interface is provided by the Bioconductors
package. It seems to have a diferent contents, though.

Thank you in advance,
Maura

Looks like a BioConductor question.

Try TargetScan, Pictar, miRbase.

These are all useful miRNA databases. Data can be downloaded as cvs or tab
delimited files and parsed in R after that. In fact this may be possible with
the resource you have looked at (although I haven't checked).
