Fixed a bug that prevented miRetrieve from loading MEDLINE-files
after the dependency readr was updated.
Added a device argument in save_plot(), based on ggplot's
ggsave() function.
Converts non-ASCII characters to ASCII characters when
extracting miRNAs. miRetrieve now converts non-ASCII characters in text
to ASCII characters using the textclean package. By doing so, miRetrieve
is able to summarize miRNAs with apparently the same, but on a bit-code level
different spelling, thereby increasing extraction efficacy.
Added a miRetrieve website. The package now comes with an own website,
hosted on GitHub under https://julfriedrich.github.io/miRetrieve/, courtesy to
pkgdown.
Added miRTarBase 8.0 to miRetrieve. miRTarBase 8.0 can now be queried
with miRetrieve using join_mirtarbase().
If you use miRetrieve to visualize miRNA-mRNA interactions based on miRTarBase, please

Converts miRNA names of older miRBase versions to the newest miRBase version 22 when extracted (e.g. miR-97, miR-102, miR-180(a/b) become miR-30a, miR-29a, and miR-172(a/b))
Renamed read_pubmed_xml() to read_pubmed_jats()
Added unit tests
read_pubmed() to adapt the function to the newest
R versionWelcome to miRetrieve! miRetrieve is designed for microRNA text mining in abstracts. By extracting, counting, and analyzing miRNA names from literature, miRetrieve aims at providing biological insights from a large amount of text within a short period of time.
