Batch convert miRNA names to Accession IDs? Does anyone know of tools to convert lists of miR names to their miRBase Accession IDs? I know they exist, but my search keeps pulling up gene ID converters. EDIT: both @rg255 and @shigeta have provided solutions to the underlying issue, but I am curious to know if something exists for miRNAs that is similar to a site like this. EDIT 2: miRNA names are of the form 'hsa-let-7a' and Accession IDs are of the form 'MI0000060'

in what species? this website looks like it will have them mirbase.org/cgi-bin/browse.pl?org=hsa If you are trying to connect them to data I'd suggest you find the table you want, save it in to a .txt file and use R (using the merge() function - df=merge(df1,mirbase,by="miR_names") would be a rough guide) to match them up.

Here is a batch converter - < \- add the text list to box on the right and it produces a table.
