gconvert: Gene ID conversion.

In gprofiler2: Interface to the 'g:Profiler' Toolset

Gene ID conversion.

Description

Interface to the g:Profiler tool g:Convert (https://biit.cs.ut.ee/gprofiler/convert) that uses the information in Ensembl databases to handle hundreds of types of identifiers for genes, proteins, transcripts, microarray probesets, etc, for many species, experimental platforms and biological databases. The input is flexible: it accepts a mixed list of IDs and recognises their types automatically. It can also serve as a service to get all genes belonging to a particular functional category.

Usage

gconvert(
  query,
  organism = "hsapiens",
  target = "ENSG",
  numeric_ns = "",
  mthreshold = Inf,
  filter_na = TRUE
)

Arguments

query	character vector that can consist of mixed types of gene IDs (proteins, transcripts, microarray IDs, etc), SNP IDs, chromosomal intervals or term IDs.
organism	organism name. Organism names are constructed by concatenating the first letter of the name and the family name. Example: human - 'hsapiens', mouse - 'mmusculus'.
target	target namespace.
numeric_ns	namespace to use for fully numeric IDs (list of available namespaces).
mthreshold	maximum number of results per initial alias to show. Shows all by default.
filter_na	logical indicating whether to filter out results without a corresponding target.

Value

The output is a data.frame which is a table closely corresponding to the web interface output.

The result fields are further described in the vignette.
