makeTranscript: Creates an object of class Transcript

Description

Creates an object of class Transcript. This represents all known transcript structures in Ensembl.

Usage

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

Arguments

id

An identifier used to specify of which gene/transcript the transcript structures should be retrieved

type

The type of identifiers used, examples are ensembl\_gene\_id, hgnc\_symbol,entrezgene. See listAttributes function of thebiomaRt 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

Value

An object of class Transcript
