getStructureIds: Get IDs associated with a Structure given the exact Structure...

In hms-dbmi/brainmapr: Visualizes ISH gene expression data from the Allen Brain Atlas

Description

In the Allen Brain Atlas, a Structure represents a neuroanatomical region of interest. Structures are grouped into Ontologies and organized in a hierarchy or StructureGraph. With the exception of the "root" structure, each Structure has one parent and denotes a "part-of" relationship. Due to this relationship, a Structure's total volume is denoted by both its own IDs and also that of its children's IDs. The StructureGraph for the Developing Mouse Brain Atlas is provided here under data/structureID.rda. This function allows you to obtain all IDs associated with a Structure given its exact name.

Usage

getStructureIds(nestedList, name)

Arguments

nestedList	A JSON derived nested list of structure relationships from Allen Brain Atlas's StructureGraph
name	Structure's name

Value

cids The Structure's ID and all its children's IDs

Examples

data(structureID)
getStructureIds(structureID, 'pallium')
