getGeneHomology: Retrieve Homology Information from Ensembl

In eisascience/scCustFx: single-cell custom fxs Package

Retrieve Homology Information from Ensembl

Description

This function queries Ensembl using the 'biomaRt' package to retrieve ortholog information for multiple species relative to human genes. It returns a list where each element contains the homology data for a given species.

Usage

getGeneHomology(
  mirror = "https://uswest.ensembl.org",
  species_list = c("mmulatta")
)

Arguments

mirror	A character string specifying the Ensembl mirror to use. Default is '"https://uswest.ensembl.org"'.
species_list	A character vector of species names (in Ensembl format) for which homology data should be retrieved. Default includes '"mmusculus"', '"mmulatta"', '"ppaniscus"', '"ptroglodytes"', '"ggorilla"', '"nleucogenys"', '"hsapiens"', and '"cjacchus"'.

Value

A named list where each element contains a data frame with homology information for a given species.

Examples

## Not run: 
homology_data <- getGeneHomology()
head(homology_data$mmusculus)

## End(Not run)
