makeGene: Creates an object of class Gene

Description

Creates an object of class Gene. This represents a gene structure as annotated in Ensembl.

Usage

makeGene(id, type, biomart, dp = NULL)

Arguments

id

An identifier used to specify of which gene the intron-exon structure should be retrieved

type

The type of identifiers used, examples are ensembl\_gene\_id, hgnc\_symbol,entrezgene. See listAttributes function of the biomaRt package for more info

biomart

Mart object, created by the useMart function of biomaRt

dp

object of class DisplayPars, determines the display of features on the plot

        type = pt@type
    new("Gene", id = id, type = type, biomart = biomart, dp = dp)
