Map gene names (symbols) to HGNC identifiers

Usage

mapGeneNamesToHgnc(genes, ignoreCase = FALSE, hgnc = NULL)

Arguments

genes: character. Human gene names (e.g. "TUT4").
ignoreCase: logical(1). Perform case-insensitive matching.
hgnc: Hgnc or NULL. If NULL, HGNC annotations will be downloaded automatically.

Examples

## Homo sapiens (only).
x <- mapGeneNamesToHgnc(genes = c("TUT4", "ZCCHC11", "TENT3A"))
