#' Detect organism
#'
#' Supports organism detection from Ensembl identifier or genome build.
#'
#' Only the first match is returned. We're using a while loop approach here so
#' we can skip transgenes or spike-ins. The function fails after a maximum of 50
#' unknowns, for speed.
#'
#' @section Supported organisms:
#'
#' - *Caenorhabditis elegans* (roundworm)
#' - *Danio rerio* (zebrafish)
#' - *Drosophila melanogaster* (fruitfly)
#' - *Gallus gallus* (chicken)
#' - *Homo sapiens* (human)
#' - *Mus musculus* (mouse)
#' - *Ovis aries* (sheep)
#' - *Rattus norvegicus* (rat)
#' - *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* (yeast)

#' @export
#' @note `BiocGenerics::organism()` `character` method conflicts with annotate
#' package, which gets loaded into the namespace when DESeq2 is attached.
#' Instead, we're exporting the character method here as a separate function
#' named `detectOrganism`.
#' @note Updated 2023-09-14.
#'
#' @param object `character`.
#'
#' @return `character(1)`.
#' Full latin organism name. Stops on match failure.
#'
#' @seealso `BiocGenerics::organism()`.
#'
#' @examples
#' ## Match by gene identifier.
#' detectOrganism("ENSG00000000003")
#'
#' ## Match by genome build.
#' detectOrganism("GRCh38") # Ensembl
#' detectOrganism("hg38") # UCSC
#'
#' ## Match by alternate organism name.
#' detectOrganism("H. sapiens")
#' detectOrganism("hsapiens")
#'
#' ## The function will skip transgenes/spike-ins until we find a match.
#' detectOrganism(c("EGFP", "TDTOMATO", "ENSG00000000003"))
#'
#' ## But it only returns the first match, if there are multiple genomes.
#' detectOrganism(c("ENSG00000000003", "ENSMUSG00000000001"))
