getHomoGeneIDs: Get homologous genes of given genes

In GeneAnswers: Integrated Interpretation of Genes

Description

Map given gene IDs to homologous gene IDs.

Usage

getHomoGeneIDs(oriGeneIDs, species = c("human", "rat", "mouse", "yeast", "fly"), speciesL = c("human", "rat", "mouse", "yeast", "fly"), mappingMethod = c("direct", "biomaRt", "none"))

Arguments

oriGeneIDs	a given entrez gene IDs
species	species of the current genes
speciesL	species of the mapped genes
mappingMethod	mapping method, see details

Details

There are two mapping methods supported by current version. "direct" only works between human and mouse because most of human gene symbols are capitalized and only the first letter is uppercase for those homogenes in mouse. Another way is by means of package "biomaRt" ,which contains more information while the network connection is necessary to access biomaRt online server.

Value

return homologous gene IDs of given genes
