Identifies orthologous gene pairs as genes being significantly similar in sequence and belonging to different species.

Description

Identifies orthologous gene pairs as genes being significantly similar in sequence and belonging to different species.

Usage

orthologs(homologs.tbl, gene.regex.1, gene.regex.2)

Arguments

homologs.tbl

a data.frame of two character columns - possibly the result obtained from invoking homologous(...)

gene.regex.1

a string encoding a PERL regular expression to match gene identifiers to species A

gene.regex.2

a string encoding a PERL regular expression to match gene identifiers to species B

Value

A subset of argument 'homologs.tbl' containg the orthologous gene pairs. Note that if pair (A,B) is contained the reciprocal pair (B,A) is, too. This should ease lookup.
