Download Reference microRNA sequences from miRBase

First, let’s download a copy of miRBAse reference sequences, including hairpin and mature microRNA sequences.

microRNA mature sequences:

wget https://mirbase.org/download/mature.fa

Hairpin sequences:

wget https://mirbase.org/download/hairpin.fa

Fetch the genomic coordinated for precursors and mature sequences:

wget https://mirbase.org/download/hsa.gff3

Alternatively, submit the following PBS Pro script to the cluster. Before running the script, create a ‘reference’ folder (i.e., /myteam/data/reference/ ).
