getUniProtToHGNCSymbolMapping: Get a mapping table between UniProt ID's and HGNC Gene...

In bhatturam/prius: Affected pathway ranking in differential gene expression analysis

Description

This function downloads data from genenames.org to create a mapping table between Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) Identifiers to HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee; gene symbols - which are the default ID's used in this package. This is particularly useful in the case of reactome data, in which interactions as well as pathway membership use UniProt ID's. It can reuse downloaded files if the downloaded folder is passed as an argument

Usage

getUniProtToHGNCSymbolMapping(data_folder)

Arguments

data_folder

- The folder where the data resides, or where it should be downloaded if it doesnt exist

References

http://www.genenames.org/cgi-bin/download

Examples

## Not run: 
data_folder<-tempdir()
usmap<-getUniProtToHGNCSymbolMapping(data_folder)

## End(Not run)
