I downloaded the expression matrix for the miRNA from http://gdac.broadinstitute.org/, as shown in the following figure. I would like to know whether the miRNA's name corresponds to miR-5p or miR-3p or miR precursor?

According to miRBase, "Distinct precursor sequences and genomic loci that express identical mature sequences get names of the form hsa-mir-121-1 and hsa-mir-121-2". (http://www.mirbase.org/help/nomenclature.shtml) So let-7a-1, let-7a-2, and let-7a-3 are stemloop sequences.

I think to get the mature transcript expressions, you need to parse the data from TCGA miRNASeq isoform quantification files (ending with .mirbase21.isoforms.quantification.txt). Here is my script to do so: https://github.com/teng-gao/genomics_utils/blob/master/README.md#process-tcga-mirnaseq-isoform-quantifications

Please correct me if I'm wrong!

Hi! could you explain to us how you did to have two files.
