I deal with a huge amount of Biology data stored in different databases. The databases belongig to Bioconductor organization can be accessed through Bioconductor packages. Unluckily some useful data is stored in databases like, for instance, miRDB, miRecords, etc ... which offer just an interactive HTML interface. See for instance http://mirdb.org/cgi-bin/search.cgi,

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

Through converting a miRNAs file from FASTA to character format I get a vector which looks like the following: > nml [1] "hsa-let-7a MIMAT0000062 Homo sapiens let-7a" [2] "hsa-let-7b MIMAT0000063 Homo sapiens let-7b" [3] "hsa-let-7c MIMAT0000064 Homo sapiens let-7c" [4] "hsa-let-7d MIMAT0000065 Homo sapiens

I tried to use R version of package I noticed the original MatLab Pckage is much better documented. I had a look at the R demo code "gtm_demo" and found that variable Y is used in advanced of being created: I wrote my own few lines as follows: inDir <- "C:/Documents and Settings/Monville/Alanine Dipeptide/DBP1/DHA" setwd(inDir) T <-

Please, does anyone know of an R packge to estimate multidimensional spectral measure of coherence within a moving time window ? Some time ago I expeimented with a similar package that performs Cross Spectrum Analysis on the whole signal though. Unluckily I deal with non-stationary signals whose properties change along with time. Therefore estimates can only be made over time periods roughly

Can biomaRt connect to data base "http://mirecords.umn.edu" or a branch of it ... for instance the validated miRNAs list ..? Thank you very much. Maura tutti i telefonini TIM! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I have attached a file downloaded from database mirWalk. Apparently it is in XLS format (this is the extension of the downloaded file). However, I cannot open it with OpenOffife spreadsheet program and Excel itself cannot separate the columns as it does when a true XLS file is loaded. I tried to read the attached downloaded file through R function "read.xls" and got the following

Dear R-users, I'm using lattice package and function xyplot for the first time so you will excuse me for my inexperience. I'm facing quite a simple problem but I'm having troubles on how to solve it, I've read tons of old mails in the archives and looked at some slides from?Deepayan Sarkar but still can not get the point. This is the context. I've got data on 9 microRNAs, each

Hi everyone, I am trying to find a way to filter a table; If I am given for example the following table: > head(intra) chr miRNA start end strand ACC hsa_ID region region_start region_end gene_id transcrip_id 1 chr1 miRNA 1102484 1102578 + ACC="MI0000342"; ID="hsa-mir-200b"; exon 1102484 1102578 NR_029639 NR_029639 2 chr1

Is there a way to force the number of ticks along an axis ? I read the on-line documentation and tried many combinations of all available parameters from functions par(), axTicks(), axis(), plot() ... but no luck !

Thank you for your prompt answer. The breathing signal observations are the amplitude values as a function of time and phase. According to our model the hidden states are the different breathing types. Subjects, whose respiratiion process is regular, are likely to breathe, keeping the same cycle pattern/type, for many consecutive cycles. therefore dwelling in the same hidden state. The more

Hi there, I wonder if there is a way of efficiently generating a correlation matrix of two expression matrices. I want to correlate miRNA and mRNA expression and used the following code: ##dat.mi miRNA expression matrix, dat.m mRNA expression matrix nc <- nrow(dat.mi) cor.mat <- data.frame(rep(NA,nrow(dat.m))) pval.mat <- data.frame(rep(NA,nrow(dat.m))) for(i in 1:nc) { cr <- vector()

I cannot find any R function or operator that performs a binary AND operation, as performed by Fortran built-in function "iand". Ideally either R operator "&" or "&&" should do that. But some tests proved they do not: > A<- 1 > B <- 2 > A [1] 1 > B [1] 2 > as.numeric(A&B) [1] 1 > as.numeric(A&&B) [1] 1 The binary

I knowf R functions ca be called passing some parameters. My first question is: how are parameters passed to R functions ? Browsing through R archives I found an answer confirming taht parameters can be passed to the called function by value. I wonder whether passing the parameter address is possible somehow to allow the function to actually change its value. My second question is about

Hi all! While I am trying to read .cel files with oligo package: afbatch=read.celfiles(list.celfiles()) I get an error: Package 'pd.mirna.1.0.2xgain' was not found in the BioConductor repository How can I overcome this? Thank you in advance

I installed package plotrix because reading its vignette it looks like it can help me solve a "legend" problem. The package instaleed correctly on my Mac OS/X 10.5.8 But I cannot reproduce the examples centered on function "lgendg". > library(plotrix) > plot(0.5,0.5,xlim=c(0,1),ylim=c(0,1),type="n", + main="Test of grouped legend function") >

After some headache with debugging my script, I finally isolated the problem taht I am going to illustrate in the following example. I expected matrix nrow to decrease consistently till 1. Instead, when the matrix is left with one row only, its nrow jumps to 2 because the matrix gets transposed. How come ? Thank you, Maura > B <- c(1,2) > B <- rbind(B,c(3,4)) > B <-

I am assigning subset of a matrix A [n,3] where n>1 to a temporary matrix TMP I do not know how many rows of A will be assigned to TMP because this is established by a run-time test. I expect TMP to be a matrix [m,3], m >=1 But when 1 row only is transferred from A to TMP then TMP becomes [3,1] rather than [1,3] How can I avoid this unwanted transpose operation ? THank you in advance,

I have the following vector of strings (shown only the first 3 elements) > desc[1:3] [1] "hsa-let-7a MIMAT0000062 Homo sapiens let-7a" [2] "hsa-let-7a* MIMAT0004481 Homo sapiens let-7a*" [3] "hsa-let-7a-2* MIMAT0010195 Homo sapiens let-7a-2*" > is.vector(desc) [1] TRUE > A <- unlist(strsplit(desc[1:3], " ")) > A [1]
