Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

Creates an object of class Gene. This represents a gene structure as annotated in Ensembl.

1	makeGene(id, type, biomart, dp = NULL)

`id`	An identifier used to specify of which gene the intron-exon structure should be retrieved
`type`	The type of identifiers used, examples are ensembl\_gene\_id, hgnc\_symbol,entrezgene. See listAttributes function of the biomaRt package for more info
`biomart`	Mart object, created by the useMart function of biomaRt
`dp`	object of class DisplayPars, determines the display of features on the plot
