miRmap library usage: after importing the library (lines 1 and 2), a ‘mimset’ object is created containing the mRNA and miRNA sequences. We then call a method of the mimset object to search (line 5) for seeds with a length of 7 (all parameters have defaults that can be changed this way). The link with the C libraries is initalized on line 7. We then manually evaluate the repression strength with differents methods (lines 9–16). Each of these methods have modifiable parameters. We finally print a report (line 18).
