Description

Converts Gene Alias to Official Gene Symbols

Usage

convertAlias(x, nomatch = NA, organism = "Hs", verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

x	character vector of gene aliases
nomatch	value to use for those aliases that could not be mapped. This argument can also be set to TRUE to make unmapped aliases keep their original input values.
organism	name of the reference organism. Currently only Human ('Hs') is supported.
verbose	logical that indicates if mapped and unmapped symbols should be output to the stderr.

Value

a character vector of the mapped symbols, whose names correspond to the original values in x.

Examples

convertAlias(c('A', 'IL10'))
convertAlias(c('A', 'IL-10', 'IL1RA'))
convertAlias(c('A', 'IL-10', 'IL1RA'), nomatch = TRUE)
