.alias
which are already official symbols be expanded if they are aliases for other symbols.alias2SymbolTable
returns a vector of the same length and order as alias
, including NA
values where no gene symbol was found.
alias2Symbol
returns an unordered vector which may be longer or shorter than alias
.
"Dm"
for fly, "Hs"
for human, "Mm"
for mouse and "Rn"
for rat.
The user needs to have the appropriate Bioconductor organism package installed.alias2Symbol
maps a set of aliases to a set of symbols, without necessarily preserving order.
The output vector may be longer or shorter than the original vector, because some aliases might not be found and some aliases may map to more than one symbol.
alias2SymbolTable
maps each alias to a gene symbol and returns a table with one row for each alias.
If an alias maps to more than one symbol, then the first one found is returned.
