Gene ID Converter — gene_id_converter

Enter the type of conversion from_type and to_type (e.g. "ensembl", "entrez", "symbol").

Usage

gene_id_converter_ver2(vector, from_type, to_type, org_db, ensembl_dataset)

Arguments

vector: Character vector of genes.
from_type: Character string specifying the initial annotation type of the genes. Supported values include "ensembl", "entrez", and "symbol".
to_type: Character string specifying the desired annotation type of the genes. Supported values include "ensembl", "entrez", and "symbol".
org_db: An organism-specific annotation database used to facilitate gene identifier conversion, such as org.Hs.eg.db or org.Mm.eg.db.
ensembl_dataset: A character string specifying the Ensembl dataset used for annotation. For example, "hsapiens_gene_ensembl" for human genes.

Details

Uses Bioconductor::getBM() and tryCatch() to communicate with the Ensembl database via getBM() to convert a character vector of genes into any of the three supported identifier forms.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
gene_id_conversion <- gene_id_converter_ver2(
  vector = c("ENSG00000141510", "ENSG00000171862"),
  from_type = "ensembl",
  to_type = "symbol",
  org_db = org.Hs.eg.db,
  ensembl_dataset = "hsapiens_gene_ensembl"
)
} # }
