In girke-lab/drugTargetInteractions: Drug-Target Interactions

getParalogs

Description

Using biomaRt, obtain for query genes the corresponding UniProt IDs as well as paralogs. Query genes can be Gene Names or ENSEMBL Gene IDs from H sapiens. The result is similar to IDMs and SSNNs from getUniprotIDs function, but instead of UNIREF clusters, biomaRt's paralogs are used to obtain SSNNs.

Usage

getParalogs(queryBy)

Arguments

queryBy

A list defining the query, as described in queryBy.

Value

Returns a list with the paralogs for the given genes.

Examples

	 queryBy <- list(molType="gene", idType="external_gene_name", ids=c("ZPBP", "MAPK1", "EGFR"))
	 
		 #requires network connection and is slow
		 result <- getParalogs(queryBy)
