getHomologene: Get the latest homologene file

getHomologeneR Documentation

Get the latest homologene file

Description

This function downloads the latest homologene file from NCBI. Note that Homologene has not been updated since 2014 so the output will be identical to homologeneData included in this package. This function is here for futureproofing purposes.

Usage

getHomologene(destfile = NULL, justRead = FALSE)

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

Value

A data frame with homology groups, gene ids and gene symbols
