In CasedUgr/KnowSeq: KnowSeq R/Bioc package: The Smart Transcriptomic Pipeline

DEGsToDiseases obtains the information about what diseases are related to the DEGs indicated by parameter.

Description

The function obtains the information about what diseases are related to the DEGs indicated by parameter. For that, the function makes use of the web platforms gene2Diseases and targetValidation.

Usage

DEGsToDiseases(geneList, size = 10, disease = "", getEvidences = FALSE)

Arguments

geneList	A list that contains the gene symbols or gene names of the DEGs.
size	The number of diseases to retrieve from targetValidation
disease	Query a specific disease instead of retrieving the whole list of related diseases.
getEvidences	Boolean. If true, for each gene, a list of found evidences for each disease will be returned.

Value

A list which contains the information about the diseases associated to each genes or to a set of genes. If getEvidences is TRUE, found evidences for each case will be returned too.

Examples

diseases <- DEGsToDiseases(c("KRT19","BRCA1"), getEvidences = FALSE)
