Common Human GeneID Terms

Description

Gets useful human genome gene identifiers from GeneIDs

Usage

getHumanIDterms(geneIDs)

Arguments

geneIDs

character vector of GeneIDs

Details

The rule about unique GeneIDs can make for some 'less than universal' gene identifiers. This function makes it easy to supplement a results data frame with more universal gene terms. Usually invoked as:

  tbl <- cbind( getHumanIDterms(tbl$GENE_ID), tbl)

Value

A list with 2 elements:

GENE_NAME	the common gene symbol or nickname ortion of the GeneIDs
ENTREZ_ID	the EntrezID number portion of the GeneIDs

Note

This function assumes that the common gene symbol and EntrezID are extractable substrings of the given GeneIDs, in the pattern used for the human GeneIDs.

  getHumanIDterms( c("WASH7P:GI653635:01:14362","FAM138A:GI645520:01:34611"))
