Other gene identifiers

Usage

geneOtherIds(release = getOption(x = "wormbase.release", default = NULL))

Arguments

release: character(1) or NULL. WormBase release. If NULL (recommended), defaults to current production release release available on the WormBase website. Legacy releases can be specified as a character string (e.g. "WS267").

Value

CharacterList.

Note

As of WS269 release, some non-N2 gene IDs are included in the flat files available on the WormBase FTP server. These annotations are removed from the return here, using grep matching to return only WBGene entries.

Updated 2021-02-18.
