gtexr (version 0.2.1)

get_genes: Get Genes

Description

This service returns information about reference genes. A genome build and GENCODE version must be provided.

• Genes are searchable by gene symbol, GENCODE ID and versioned GENCODE ID.

• Versioned GENCODE ID is recommended to ensure unique ID matching.

• By default, this service queries the genome build and GENCODE version used by the latest GTEx release.

Usage

get_genes(
  geneIds,
  gencodeVersion = "v26",
  genomeBuild = "GRCh38/hg38",
  page = 0,
  itemsPerPage = getOption("gtexr.itemsPerPage"),
  .verbose = getOption("gtexr.verbose"),
  .return_raw = FALSE
)

Value

A tibble. Or a list if .return_raw = TRUE.

Arguments

geneIds

A character vector of gene symbols, versioned gencodeIds, or unversioned gencodeIds.

gencodeVersion

String (default = "v26"). GENCODE annotation release. Either "v26" or "v19".

genomeBuild

String. Options: "GRCh38/hg38", "GRCh37/hg19". Default = "GRCh38/hg38".

page

Integer (default = 0).

itemsPerPage

Integer (default = 250). Set globally to maximum value 100000 with options(list(gtexr.itemsPerPage = 100000)).

.verbose

Logical. If TRUE (default), print paging information. Set to FALSE globally with options(list(gtexr.verbose = FALSE)).

.return_raw

Logical. If TRUE, return the raw API JSON response. Default = FALSE
