\title{Organism Acronym to Species}

\description{
  mirbaseSPECIES is an R object that provides mappings between
  organism acronyms and the species specifications.
}

\details{
  Each organism acronym to a unique character string which is
  the full name of the species.
  Further information concerning the species can be found by using
  the \code{\link{toTable}} function which reports the 'division',
  'taxonomy', 'genome_assembly' and the 'ensembl_db' used.

  The organism acronym of a microRNA is returned by using
  \code{\link{mirbaseID2SPECIES}}.
