Query basic information for genes, including name, symbol, position and description

Description

Query basic information for genes, including name, symbol, position and description

Usage

xQTLquery_gene(genes = "", geneType = "auto", recordPerChunk = 150)

Arguments

genes	A charater vector or a string of gene symbol, gencode id (versioned or unversioned), or a charater string of gene type. gene symbol (Default). A character string or a character vector (case ignored). like: "tp53","naDK","SDF4". gencode/ensemble id (versioned or unversioned). A character string or a character vector (case ignored). like: "ENSG00000210195.2","ENSG00000078808". gene classification. when "geneType" is "geneCategory", supported "genes" can be listed using function gencodeGenetype$V26 or gencodeGenetype$V19
geneType	(character) options: "auto","geneSymbol" or "gencodeId". Default: "auto".
recordPerChunk	(integer) number of records fetched per request (default: 150).

Value

A data.table object of queried gene information. including following columns:

• genes. Input genes

• geneSymbol. Gene symbol.

• gencodeId. Gencode/ensemble id (versioned).

• entrezGeneId. Entrez gene ID.

• geneType. Gene type.

• chromosome. Note: "chr" is added in gencode v26,

• start.

• end.

• strand.

• tss. Transcriptional start site.

• gencodeVersion. Gencode Version.

• genomeBuild. Genome version.

• description.

Examples

# query gene of gencode version v26/hg38
geneInfo <- xQTLquery_gene("TP53")
geneInfo <- xQTLquery_gene(c("tp53","naDK","SDF4") )
geneInfo <- xQTLquery_gene(c("ENSG00000210195.2","ENSG00000078808"))
