Overview

About

Maintained by Vidal FeyFirst published 2021-08-2113 releasesCRAN page ↗

Gene Symbols or Ensembl Gene IDs are converted using the Bimap interface in 'AnnotationDbi' in convertId2() for the most common use cases in data analysis. The main function in the package is convert.bm() which queries BioMart using the full capacity of the API provided through the 'biomaRt' package. Presets and defaults are provided for convenience but all "marts", "filters" and "attributes" can be set by the user. Function convert.alias() converts Gene Symbols to Aliases and vice versa and function likely_symbol() attempts to determine the most likely current Gene Symbol.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)

install.packages("convertid", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
