getGeneInfo R Documentation
Download gene symbol information
Description
This function downloads the gene_info file from NCBI website and returns the
gene symbols for current IDs.
Usage
getGeneInfo(destfile = NULL, justRead = FALSE, chunk_size = 1e+06)
Arguments
destfile
Path of the output file. If NULL a temp file will be used
justRead
If TRUE and destfile exists, it reads the file instead of
downloading the latest one from NCBI
chunk_size
Chunk size to be used with link[readr]{read_tsv_chunked}.
The gene_info file is big enough to make its intake difficult. If you don't
have large amounts of free memory you may have to reduce this number to read
the file in smaller chunks
Value
A data frame with gene symbols for each current gene id
