disease_extension: Perform a descendant search for a query term

In jeinson/PhenolyzerR: PhenolyzerR

Description

This function will take a query term, and find all descendants and neighbors of that term in the specified ontologies. By default, a match is considered if a the query is a subset of a database entry. i.e., "alzheimer" matches "Alzheimer's disease". This process is important for increasing the chances of getting a string match in the disease-gene databases.

Usage

disease_extension(term, ontologies = c("ctd", "doid"), exact_match = FALSE)

Arguments

term	A query term
ontologies	Defaults to c("ctd", "doid")
exact_match	Defaults to FALSE. If true, no partial string mathching is performed.
