## R package compendium for the analysis of murine palate two-color miRNA expression data

### Description

R package compendium for the analysis of two-color miRNA expression data, during the period of murine embryonic palate development (gestational days (GD) 12, 13, and 14). Samples were hybridized to Miltenyi Biotech miRXplore Microarrays. The compendium covers a wide range of steps which occur in a typical miRNA microarray data analysis, including pre-processing, normalization, differential expression analysis, clustering, target identification, and gene-set enrichment analysis.

The package contains several functions which are helpful during the pre-processing steps of array data, which are specific to `RGList` objects and, in the case of the `fixOutliers` and `fixMVs` functions, depend on the replicated structure of Miltenyi Biotech miRXplore Microarrays. Additionally, methods are available to produce diagnostic plots for `RGList` objects and lists of normalized data sets (`MAList` and / or `NChannelSet` objects), which build on the generic functions in `lattice`. Lastly, the main focus of the package is the package vignette "MmPalateMiRNA", which contains an extended example covering the typical steps in an miRNA microarray data analysis.
