In HelenLindsay/AbNames: Standardize Antibody Names

getAliases —-

Description

Given an antibody name, return aliases

Usage

getAliases(ab, by = c("ALT_ID", "HGNC_ID"), verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

ab	(character(1)) Name of the antibody/gene to match
by	One of ALT_ID or HGNC_ID
verbose	Should program status messages be printed? Default: TRUE

Details

Convenience function to return aliases all aliases in the gene_aliases table, given a gene symbol or antibody name. Aliases can be found by matching either the ALT_ID (default) or HGNC_ID. Matching by the ALT_ID means that isoforms are not considered aliases. For example CD45RA will not be an alias of CD45RO. Matching by HGNC_ID means that aliases corresponding to isoforms or modifications of the same gene will all be returned.

Value

A table of aliases, or nothing if no aliases are found
