GENE.to.ENS: Convert gene ids to ensembl ids

In humarray: Simplify Analysis and Annotation of Human Microarray Datasets

Description

Retrieve the ensembl IDs corresponding to a list of common gene names (HGNC format).

Usage

GENE.to.ENS(genes, dir = NULL, ...)

Arguments

genes	character, gene labels, e.g, "APOE"
dir	character, 'dir' is the location to download gene and cytoband information; if left as NULL, depending on the value of getOption("save.annot.in.current"), the annotation will either be saved in the working directory to speed-up subsequent lookups, or deleted after use.
...	further arguments to get.gene.annot()

Value

Returns a vector of HGNC gene ids corresponding to the 'ens' ensembl ids entered, any ids not found will be returned as NA.
