GTEx API Portal documentation

Usage

get_neighbor_gene(
  pos,
  chromosome,
  bp_window,
  page = 0,
  gencodeVersion = "v26",
  genomeBuild = "GRCh38/hg38",
  itemsPerPage = getOption("gtexr.itemsPerPage"),
  .verbose = getOption("gtexr.verbose"),
  .return_raw = FALSE
)

Arguments

pos	Integer.
chromosome	String. One of "chr1", "chr2", "chr3", "chr4", "chr5", "chr6", "chr7", "chr8", "chr9", "chr10", "chr11", "chr12", "chr13", "chr14", "chr15", "chr16", "chr17", "chr18", "chr19", "chr20", "chr21", "chr22", "chrM", "chrX", "chrY".
bp_window	Integer.
page	Integer (default = 0).
gencodeVersion	String (default = "v26"). GENCODE annotation release. Either "v26" or "v19".
genomeBuild	String. Options: "GRCh38/hg38", "GRCh37/hg19". Default = "GRCh38/hg38".
itemsPerPage	Integer (default = 250). Set globally to maximum value 100000 with options(list(gtexr.itemsPerPage = 100000)).
.verbose	Logical. If TRUE (default), print paging information. Set to FALSE globally with options(list(gtexr.verbose = FALSE)).
.return_raw	Logical. If TRUE, return the raw API JSON response. Default = FALSE

Value

A tibble. Or a list if .return_raw = TRUE.
