In Ni-Ar/niar: Nice Interactive Analysis with R

Convenient converter from gene name to ensembl ID

Description

The ENSEMBL gene IDs are returned in the same order as the input gene names.

Usage

gene_name_2_ensembl_id(
  gene_name,
  only_ensembl_id = TRUE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  mRt_objct = ensembl
)

Arguments

gene_name	A character specifying the gene name
only_ensembl_id	Logical, whether to return only the gene name or a data.frame with more info. Default TRUE
verbose	Logical. Do you want me to be chatty?
mRt_objct	A biomaRt object created with the gimme_mart() function.

Value

A character corresponding to an ensembl gene ID or a data.frame.

Examples

ensembl <- gimme_mart()
gene_name_2_ensembl_id("TSPAN6")
"ENSG00000000003"

# Example with mouse ensembl
ensembl <- gimme_mart(species = "mmusculus", latest = T, use_mirror = F, 
                      out_dir = F, verbose = T)
gene_name_2_ensembl_id(gene_name = "TSPAN6")
"ENSMUSG00000067377"
