Hi Paul

Appreciate your quick response. So in my case what I am looking for is
to create a matrix of expression values of these miRNA and in process
also filter out any low quality measurement. I am wondering if LIMMA
can do just that. The downstream goal is to integrate some of this
info with the miRNA-Seq data.

Thanks!
