An r package that works as a wrapper to synonym information in ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/DATA/gene_info.gz. Updates semi-regularly since 8th of Match 2017

Available species are

geneSynonym::taxData

More species can be added on request

Installation

install_github('oganm/geneSynonym')

Usage

The output is a nested list since gene synonyms are not nececarilly unique. For instance

mouseSyno('Tex40')

Names of vectors within the list are NCBI ids.

Input is a vector of gene names/NCBI ids and a tax identifier. Alternatively shorthand functions exist for human and mouse.

geneSynonym(c('Eno2','Mog'), tax = 10090)

geneSynonym(c('Eno2','Mog'), tax = 10090)

mouseSyno(c('Eno2',17441))

humanSyno('MOG')
