Arguments

df	Data frame containing miRNA names and publication years.
threshold	Integer. Specifies how often a miRNA must be mentioned in a year to be considered "mentioned".
start	Integer. Optional. Beginning of publication period. If start = NULL, start is set to the least recent year in df.
end	Integer. Optional. End of publication period. If end = NULL, end is set to the most recent year in df.
colour	String. Colour of bar plot.
col.mir	Symbol. Column containing miRNA names.
col.year	Symbol. Column containing publication year.
title	String. Plot title.

Value

Bar plot displaying the number of newly mentioned miRNA names/year.

Details

Plot how many miRNAs are mentioned for the first time in different year. If a miRNA is considered to be "mentioned" in a year can be regulated via the threshold argument. If, for example, threshold is set to 3, but a miRNA is mentioned only twice in a year, it is not considered to be "mentioned" for this year.
