getProtein: Get protein XML data

In zzaassaa2/uniprotProteinView: Show 2D plot of protein information retrieved from the UniProt database

Description

Searches through list or vector of entries and attempts to retrieve UniProt protein XML data. This can be done by either .xml entry for local files, where if none are found, will ask if the user either want to skip or download the file and load that. Otherwise, the user can specify a UniProt protein key_code where the function will then attempt to read the XML data from the webpage. Alternativly, the user can use "random" to randomly pick a protein.

Usage

getProtein(source, showProgress = TRUE)

Arguments

source	List of entries for which to attempt to load
showProgress	If the user should be notified on the progress of this function

Value

List for each loaded protein, each element containing a list of XML data

Examples

#Example 1:
#This will get the xml data for the protein Q04206
proteinXml <- getProtein("Q04206")

#Example 2:
#This will get a random human protein and the Q04206 protein
proteinXml <- getProtein(c("random", "Q04206"))

#Example 3:
#This will get 4 random human proteins
proteinXml <- getProtein("random number:4")

#Example 4:
#This will get 3 random mouse proteins, the protein Q04206, and then 2 more random human proteins
proteinXml <- getProtein(c("random number:3 orgid:10090", "Q04206", "random number:2"))
