Import NCBI (Entrez) gene identifier information
Arguments
- organism
character(1). Full Latin organism name (e.g."Homo sapiens").- taxonomicGroup
character(1). NCBI FTP server taxonomic group subdirectory path (e.g. "Mammalia"). Defining this manually avoids having to query the FTP server.- cache
logical(1). Cache the gene info file from NCBI FTP server using BiocFileCache.
Examples
object <- NcbiGeneInfo(
organism = "Homo sapiens",
taxonomicGroup = "Mammalia"
)
#> → Downloading Homo sapiens gene info from NCBI at <https://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/gene/DATA/GENE_INFO/Mammalia/Homo_sapiens.gene_info.gz>.
#> → Importing /Users/mike/.cache/R/AcidGenomes/BiocFileCache/10707413a06ea_Homo_sapiens.gene_info.gz using base::`read.table()`.
