Guess the gene identifier type from a list of character vectors

Description

This function tries to derive the type of gene IDs used in a named list of character vectors provided as input.

Usage

guessGeneIdType(geneIdsList)

Arguments

geneIdsList

A named list of character vectors like the ones returned by geneIds().

Details

In order to make this function useful and keep it as simple as possible, we limit ourselves to the most common types of gene identifiers: "Gene IDs" consisting of digits only are considered ENTREZ IDs, anything starting with 'ENS' an ENSEMBL identifier and anything else a HuGO gene symbol.

Value

An object of a subclass of GeneIdentifierType derived from the input.
