convert_ensembl_id_to_name: Replace ensembl gene ids with gene names

Description Arguments

Description

When the dataset is loaded with genes specified by their ensembl ids, this function maps these ids to their associated gene names.

Arguments

biomart_dataset

a character string specifying the BioMart dataset to use for the conversion. The list of available datasets can be listed with listDatasets from the "biomaRt" package. Default to 'mmusculus_gene_ensembl'.

gene_ids_mapping_file

a character string. If NULL, the conversion is performed from a gene ids/names mapping obtained using the biomaRt package (Default). This requires an internet connection. If not NULL, this argument must specify the location of a csv file with header containing the ensembl gene ids in the first column and the gene names in the second column.
