class Targets:

Constructor: Targets(path_to_miRTarBase)

View In Hierarchy

The class extracts and stores the targets of one microRNA and its name

Method __init__ path_to_miRTarBase : str, optional Path to miRTarBase.csv file. Format: [miRNA;target] If path not specified, miRTarbase built-in version loaded.
Method get_targets miRTarBase contains different forms of miRNA, for example, miR-21- can correspond to miR-21-3p and miR-21-5p. The function concatenates targets of all forms of miRNA and removes duplicates, which arise because the same target can correspond to several lines due to different methods of its confirmation.
Instance Variable miR_dict Dict{miRNA: [Targets]}
