hg38_gene_annotation: Example Gene Annotation Data

In GRIN2: Genomic Random Interval (GRIN)

Example Gene Annotation Data

Description

This dataset contains gene annotation data for 417 selected genes from the human GRCh38 genome assembly. The genes correspond to those included in the example gene expression dataset and are provided to support package examples and demonstrations without requiring retrieval of the complete genome-wide annotation dataset.

Usage

hg38_gene_annotation

Format

hg38_gene_annotation

A data frame with 417 rows and 9 columns:

gene

Unversioned Ensembl gene ID.

chrom

Chromosome identifier on which the gene is located.

loc.start

Gene start position in base pairs.

loc.end

Gene end position in base pairs.

description

Gene description.

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

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

chrom.band

Chromosomal cytoband containing the gene.

Details

The annotation data were obtained using get.ensembl.annotation for the "Human_GRCh38" genome assembly and subsequently restricted to the 417 genes represented in the example expression dataset.
