Example Gene Annotation Data File

Description

This dataset contains example annotation data for 417 selected genes (matching the gene set in the example gene expression dataset). The data was retrieved from the Ensembl BioMart database using the get.ensembl.annotation function with "Human-GRCh38" as the genome assembly (hg38).

Usage

hg38_gene_annotation

Format

hg38_gene_annotation

A data frame with 417 rows and 9 columns:

gene

Ensembl gene ID.

chrom

Chromosome on which the gene is located.

loc.start

Gene start position (in base pairs).

loc.end

Gene end position (in base pairs).

description

Description of the gene.

gene.name

Gene symbol.

biotype

Gene biotype, including categories such as protein-coding, long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), microRNA (miRNA), small nuclear RNA (snRNA), small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA), immunoglobulin (IG), T-cell receptor (TCR), and pseudogene.

chrom.strand

Strand on which the gene is located: forward (1) or reverse (-1).

chrom.band

Chromosomal cytoband where the gene is located.

Source

Retrieved from the Ensembl BioMart database using the get.ensembl.annotation function with the "Human-GRCh38" genome assembly (hg38). Then a subset of 417 out of around 62,000 genes was selected for the example dataset.
