This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The Bioconductor package miRBaseConverter and the Shiny-based web application are presented to provide a suite of functions for converting and retrieving miRNA name, accession, sequence, species, version and family information in different versions of miRBase. The package will serve a wide range of applications in miRNA research and could provide a full view of the miRNAs of interest.
