Overview

About

Maintained by Raphael BonnetCRAN page ↗

Queries multiple resources authors HGNC (2019) https://www.genenames.org, authors limma (2015) doi:10.1093/nar/gkv007 to find the correspondence between evolving nomenclature of human gene symbols, aliases, previous symbols or synonyms with stable, curated gene entrezID from NCBI database. This allows fast, accurate and up-to-date correspondence between human gene expression datasets from various date and platform (e.g: gene symbol: BRCA1 - ID: 672).

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/aliases2entrez/aliases2entrez_0.1.2.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "aliases2entrez_0.1.2.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.1.2) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
