Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Given a text query, find the SRA project ids (study accession numbers) that contain the text in their abstract as provided by the SRAdb Bioconductor package.

1	abstract_search(query, id_only = FALSE, ...)

`query`	A character vector with the text to search for via grep in the abstract info available at recount_abstract.
`id_only`	Whether to only return the project id or to return summary information for the project(s) that match the query.
`...`	Additional arguments passed to grep.

Both the query and the abstracts are searched in lower case.

For a more powerful search use the recount project website at https://jhubiostatistics.shinyapps.io/recount/.

If id_only = TRUE it returns a character vector with the project SRA ids (accession numbers). If id_only = FALSE it returns a subset of recount_abstract for the abstracts that contained the query.
