TargetScan predicted microRNA targets

TargetScan is a database of predicted microRNA targets, developed at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research. To facilitate the use of this database in BioConductor we created annotation R packages from it.

Download and Installation

You will need to install the core BioConductor packages first. See the BioConductor web site for details on this. Then, choose a package for your organism and your operating system:
