convertGenesToSymbols(object, ...)

convertSymbolsToGenes(object, ...)

# S4 method for class 'SummarizedExperiment'
convertGenesToSymbols(object, strict = FALSE)

# S4 method for class 'SummarizedExperiment'
convertSymbolsToGenes(object, strict = FALSE)

Arguments

object

Object.

strict

logical(1). Require that all identifiers contain gene name (symbol) metadata stored in the object. Disabled by default, to support objects containing custom gene identifiers, such as FASTA spike-ins.

Examples

data(RangedSummarizedExperiment, package = "AcidTest")

## SummarizedExperiment ====
object <- RangedSummarizedExperiment
x <- convertGenesToSymbols(object)
print(x)
#> class: RangedSummarizedExperiment 
#> dim: 500 12 
#> metadata(3): version date interestingGroups

## Interconvert back to gene IDs.
