In lwaldron/LeviRmisc: Levi's miscellaneous handy R functions

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) Examples

If GEO series IDs are provided, the function will also add data from pubmed if the PMID can be found from GEO. Function by Levi Waldron.

1 2	geoPmidLookup(id, iconv.args = list(from = "latin1", to = "ASCII", sub = "?"), con = NULL)

`id`	A character string of one or more GSE identifiers and/or pubmed IDs. Pubmed IDs may or may not be preceded by "PMID". Optionally, GEO series identifiers can have a platform specified by appending it to the series identifier, separated by a hyphen, eg: GSE1722-GPL96.
`iconv.args`	Arguments to the base::iconv() function, for optionally converting text to ASCII. If NULL, do no conversion.
`con`	Connection to a GEOmetadb SQLite database. Will be created if not provided.

A character vector or dataframe of platform, series, and publication information retrieved through GEOmetadb and Pubmed. If multiple IDs are provided, the dataframe will have one row per ID.

## Takes too long to run for the first time in an example, because
## the sqlite file containing all GEO metadata has to be downloaded:
if( interactive() ){
    ids <- c("GSE100", "GSE1000", "PMID100", "PMID1000")
    geoLookup(ids)
}
