Mirbase 20 Number of precursor micorRNA: 1871 ID , 1870 Name (mir-511 has two id) Number of mature micorRNA: 2794 ID , 2576 Name. ID Each precursor and mature microRNA has unique ID. If you work on ID that would be fine. Name -- > ID P recursor microRNA For each primary ID there is 1 primary name, except one case hsa-mir-511.
