In AlexandreGaubil/geneSpeciesTranslation: Translating gene symbols for different species

geneSpeciesTranslation

R package for conversion between the gene symbols of different species

Functions this package provides:

• convert_genes(df, conversion_file, old_specie, new_specie): This function adds a column (named as the input parameter new_specie dictates) to the given df containing the gene symbol for the new specie corresponding to the old specie using the given conversion file. If a list is given as an input (not a data frame), it will just return a list of the corresponding new symbols.
• convert_genes_human_to_mouse(df, conversion_file): Wrapper for convert_genes where the old specie name is HumanSymbol and the new specie name is MouseSymbol.
• convert_genes_mouse_to_human(df, conversion_file): Wrapper for convert_genes where the old specie name is MouseSymbol and the new specie name is HumanSymbol.
